Use Reflection\FileReflection without including file?

[RSully]

From zendframework/zendframework#6860 which was just closed:

It looks like FileReflection uses token_get_all(file_get_contents($file)) to actually scan the file, so I am a little lost by the requirement of includeing it.

I am trying to fix some PHP classes programmatically, all of which have the same class name in the global namespace. To do this I was planning to reflect the files, get the class reflection, and instantiate the class generator from that to make my changes. Of course, since reflecting the file requires including it, I cannot do this right now, as it would have to re-declare the classes.
