The library that you refer is not in use for a long time already. The document you pointed out is from 2006 (you can check the creation date).

Since then, a lot has changed, and now it is all based on cling ( https://root.cern/cling/ ), that originates from clang and llvm. cling is responsible generates the serialization / reflection of the classes needed within the ROOT framework.

Good catch: I'm confusing reflex and the cling code that came later. All the issues I mentioned are still there in (or caused by) cling though. Either way standardization in reflection would help.
