Talk Title: "Reflection for C++26... and beyond"

Description
A small-ish team of WG21 contributors are working tirelessly to bring reflection to C++ in C++26. In this talk, we'll review some of what that work will enable. That team is also looking at longer-term goals to try to avoid painting the language into a corner. We'll talk more speculatively about possible features in the longer-term vision. The talk will be mostly example-driven.
