Mark,
Would it be possible to make importing reflection not actually reflect?
Example:

maincode.monkey:
Import reflection
Import anotherfile

Class Foo
End

Function Main()
    Local b := New Bar
    b.cls = GetClass("Foo")
End

anotherfile.monkey:
Import just_the_reflection_types

Class Bar
    Field cls:ClassInfo
End

In this situation I've defined a field as ClassInfo, but haven't actually triggered the reflector for this file. I know I could use the reflection filter, but it seems kinda messy.

Any possibility this could happen?
