I've discussed this one for a while with @daveedvdv , and we've both had success implementing it. He had no objections, suggested that I write up a motivating example, and propose the wording - so this is that :)

SG7 expressed interest in typeful reflection in Kona, so it's possible the example could help win some new fans to Team 2996.

@brevzin Addressed all feedback. Did it with constructors, as per your request - I think the existing language of the wording is sufficient to cover that, but let me know if you'd prefer a more explicit mention that calling constructors is fair game.
