Mirrors-based reflection interface for JavaScript

Originally based on work by Allen Wirfs-Brock

# Files:
 * mirrors.js is the reference implementation of the mirror interfaces; supports
   reflecting over local objects
 * doc/interfaces is a specification of the mirror interfaces using an
   interface description language based on TypeScript with ad hoc extensions
   for get and set
 * tests/harness.html runs a bunch of tests on mirrors.js in-browser; only
   ever tested in Firefox due to Chrome's restrictions on XHR from local
   file:// pages
 * tests/testRunner-node.js runs the same tests from the command-line using
   NodeJS


The reference implementation requires a JavaScript implementation that
supports ES5.  Neither the interface spec nor the implemenation take into
account changes made in ES6 and up.

For an introduction to the principles behind mirror-based reflection, read
[Mirrors: design principles for meta-level facilites of object-oriented
programming languages] by Gilad Bracha and David Ungar.  See also Allen
Wirfs-Brock's tour of the original jsmirrors implementation in his posts on
[reflection] in JavaScript.
