Pretty sure the link the parent (to my comment) provided explains this.
It's not the same kind of runtime reflection people talk about when they (for example) use reflection in Java. It's hidden from the library-using programmer, but the calling needs to "communicate" with the library to figure out data layouts and such, and that sounds a lot like reflection to me.
