describeTypeJSON has access control flags: INCLUDE_BASES | INCLUDE_INTERFACES | INCLUDE_VARIABLES | INCLUDE_ACCESSORS | INCLUDE_METHODS | INCLUDE_METADATA | INCLUDE_CONSTRUCTOR | INCLUDE_TRAITS | HIDE_OBJECT| USE_ITRAITS;
For the tests, I have using all the flags, to be equivalent with former describeType. So it could be even better if you only need some of the reflection info...

I think the optimization is worth it, especially on UI classes reflection. WDYT?
