I'm happy to do that, but would making those methods public create
some kind of security hole?

Also, is use of getCallingClass() sufficient for the reflection
code, or does it really need to "walk" the stack, and therefore need
getClassContext() too, or some kind of new iterator method?

If we figure out the details then I'll implement it.

Thanks,
