Allow exporting a reflection to PHP #133

Description
A pretty powerful feature of BR would be to export a reflection to PHP code (using PhpParser's printing functionality. This would pretty much take the whole AST stored within a reflection, feed it to PhpParser's printer, and return it.
Something like:
echo $reflectedClass->getMethod('add')->asPhp();would result in a string with the following:
/**
* Some addition method
*
* @param int $a
* @param int $a
* @return int
*/
private function add($a, $b)
{
return $a + $b;
}Note that because we exported the method only, it is not valid PHP by itself (it should exist within the context of a class).
Exporting a class would be more "complete":
echo $reflectedClass->asPhp();might result in something like:
class MathematicalStuff
{
/**
* Some addition method
*
* @param int $a
* @param int $a
* @return int
*/
public function add($a, $b)
{
return $a + $b;
}
}
Note: not sure if the docblocks output is possible, but it would be great to include this
