Comment from @Ocramius (see here)

You can create an accessor even without the instance of the object or internal reflection.

See http://ocramius.github.io/blog/accessing-private-php-class-members-without-reflection/

This would mean we could support the following methods:

• ReflectionClass::getStaticPropertyValue - see Implement [g|s]etStaticPropertyValue in ReflectionClass #114
• ReflectionClass::setStaticPropertyValue - see Implement [g|s]etStaticPropertyValue in ReflectionClass #114
• ReflectionMethod::getClosure - see Implemented ReflectionMethod::getClosure() #354
• ReflectionMethod::invoke - see Implemented ReflectionMethod::invoke(), invokeArgs() and setAccessible() #355
• ReflectionMethod::invokeArgs - see Implemented ReflectionMethod::invoke(), invokeArgs() and setAccessible() #355
• ReflectionMethod::setAccessible - see Implemented ReflectionMethod::invoke(), invokeArgs() and setAccessible() #355
• ReflectionFunction::getClosure - see Implemented missing functions in ReflectionFunction #357
• ReflectionFunction::invoke - see Implemented missing functions in ReflectionFunction #357
• ReflectionFunction::invokeArgs - see Implemented missing functions in ReflectionFunction #357
• ReflectionProperty::setAccessible - see Implemented ReflectionProperty::setAccessible(), getValue() and setValue() and ReflectionClass::getStaticProperties() #343
• ReflectionProperty::setValue - see Implemented ReflectionProperty::setAccessible(), getValue() and setValue() and ReflectionClass::getStaticProperties() #343
