[Cuis-dev] reflection in Cuis

I've learned how to discover lots of things using reflection, but not the
following. Are there methods that return these?

- all installed packages
- all class categories
- all classes in a given class category
- all message categories used by a given class
- the source code for a given method as a string or tree of AST nodes

There seems to be some inconsistencies in the kind of object returned by
the reflection methods. I've encountered at least these so far: Array, Set,
IdentitySet, and OrderCollection. I understand the distinction between
these collection types, but it's not clear why the reflection methods don't
all return the same kind of collection.
