// BindingFlags are a set of flags that control the binding and invocation process
// 
// <OWNER>[....]</OWNER>
//    in Reflection.  There are two processes.  The first is selection of a Member which
//    is the binding phase.  The second, is invocation.  These flags control how this
//    process works.
