bean* in scala.reflect

While trying to clean up package scala.reflect, I came across 7
classes with Bean in their names.

BeanDescription.scala BeanProperty.scala
BeanDisplayName.scala BooleanBeanProperty.scala
BeanInfo.scala ScalaBeanInfo.scala
BeanInfoSkip.scala

I think they need to be evicted from scala.reflect, because they
clutter the name space of an important toplevel package. Some of them
are static annotations, so have clearly no place in the scala.reflect
package which is about runtime things.

Can somebody with more knowledge recommend a new home for them (maybe
several new homes)? And, if that someone has committer privileges
perform the eviction? (Of course, we should leave deprecated
forwarders in the package object, so that client code does not break).

Thanks

I don't have any knowledge, but I do have a burning drive to move
things around, which has to be almost as good.

Great! Does everyone agree with moving Scala beans to scala.beans?

Well, unless scala.veggies is already out of the question...
