+## Missing/Stubbed Implementations
+
+### Major Missing Features:
+1. **Unsafe pointer operations**: `NewAt`, `SliceAt`
+2. **Function type construction**: `FuncOf`
+3. **Struct type construction**: `StructOf`
+4. **Generic type support**: `TypeFor[T any]()`
+5. **Variadic append**: `AppendSlice`, variadic `Append`
+
+### Stubbed Files:
+1. **`badlinkname.ts`**: Contains stub implementations for Go runtime linkname functions
+2. **`abi.ts`**: Contains stub implementations for ABI-related functionality
+3. **`makefunc.ts`**: Partially implemented but returns empty values
+
+### Internal Implementation Files:
+1. **`iter.ts`**: Contains range iteration support for numeric types
+2. **Test file**: `function-types.test.ts` shows good test coverage for function type detection
+
+## Known Issues
+
+### Go Reflect Package Bug (from godoc.txt)
+The official Go reflect package has a known bug where `FieldByName` and related functions consider struct field names equal if the names are equal, even if they are unexported names from different packages. This affects the behavior when a struct contains multiple fields with the same name from different embedded packages. This issue is documented in https://golang.org/issue/4876.
+
+**GoScript Implementation**: Since the current implementation has limited struct field operations, this bug may not be present, but should be considered if implementing more comprehensive struct field access methods.
+
+## Overall Assessment
+
+The GoScript reflect package has a **comprehensive foundation** with most core functionality implemented:
+
+- ✅ **Strong**: Type system, Value operations, basic constructors, deep equality, **channel operations**
+- ⚠️ **Partial**: Function reflection, method operations  
+- ❌ **Missing**: Unsafe operations, some type constructors
+
+The implementation appears designed for JavaScript/TypeScript interoperability rather than full Go runtime compatibility, which explains the absence of unsafe operations and some low-level features. **Channel operations are now fully implemented and tested**, making this a robust reflect package for GoScript's use cases.

+// DeepEqual reports whether x and y are "deeply equal," defined as follows.
+// Two values of identical type are deeply equal if one of the following cases applies.
+// Values of distinct types are never deeply equal.
+//
+// Array values are deeply equal when their corresponding elements are deeply equal.
+//
+// Struct values are deeply equal if their corresponding fields,
+// both exported and unexported, are deeply equal.
+//
+// Func values are deeply equal if both are nil; otherwise they are not deeply equal.
+//
+// Interface values are deeply equal if they hold deeply equal concrete values.
+//
+// Map values are deeply equal when all of the following are true:
+// they are both nil or both non-nil, they have the same length,
+// and either they are the same map object or their corresponding keys
+// (matched using Go equality) map to deeply equal values.
+//
+// Pointer values are deeply equal if they are equal using Go's == operator
+// or if they point to deeply equal values.
+//
+// Slice values are deeply equal when all of the following are true:
+// they are both nil or both non-nil, they have the same length,
+// and either they point to the same initial entry of the same underlying array
+// (that is, &x[0] == &y[0]) or their corresponding elements (up to length) are deeply equal.
+// Note that a non-nil empty slice and a nil slice (for example, []byte{} and []byte(nil))
+// are not deeply equal.
+//
+// Other values - numbers, bools, strings, and channels - are deeply equal
+// if they are equal using Go's == operator.
+//
+// In general DeepEqual is a recursive relaxation of Go's == operator.
+// However, this idea is impossible to implement without some inconsistency.
+// Specifically, it is possible for a value to be unequal to itself,
+// either because it is of func type (uncomparable in general)
+// or because it is a floating-point NaN value (not equal to itself in floating-point comparison),
+// or because it is an array, struct, or interface containing
+// such a value.
+// On the other hand, pointer values are always equal to themselves,
+// even if they point at or contain such problematic values,
+// because they compare equal using Go's == operator, and that
+// is a sufficient condition to be deeply equal, regardless of content.
+// DeepEqual has been defined so that the same short-cut applies
+// to slices and maps: if x and y are the same slice or the same map,
+// they are deeply equal regardless of content.
+//
+// As DeepEqual traverses the data values it may find a cycle. The
+// second and subsequent times that DeepEqual compares two pointer
+// values that have been compared before, it treats the values as
+// equal rather than examining the values to which they point.
+// This ensures that DeepEqual terminates.

+package reflect // import "reflect"
+
+Package reflect implements run-time reflection, allowing a program to manipulate
+objects with arbitrary types. The typical use is to take a value with static
+type interface{} and extract its dynamic type information by calling TypeOf,
+which returns a Type.
+
+A call to ValueOf returns a Value representing the run-time data. Zero takes a
+Type and returns a Value representing a zero value for that type.
+
+See "The Laws of Reflection" for an introduction to reflection in Go:

+BUG: FieldByName and related functions consider struct field names to be equal
+if the names are equal, even if they are unexported names originating
+in different packages. The practical effect of this is that the result of
+t.FieldByName("x") is not well defined if the struct type t contains
+multiple fields named x (embedded from different packages).
+FieldByName may return one of the fields named x or may report that there are none.
+See https://golang.org/issue/4876 for more details.
