https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx-reflection/index.html

Kind regards

It means written in the same form as the language that is the C++
standard.  It is a term which is used to describe that the language
that the C++ standard uses sometimes can be hard to read due to the
terms used which is not how C++ developers know them as.

The project and C++ has moved on from the time it was being developed
even. concepts in C++20 seems like the evolution of that work even.

Thanks,
Andrew Pinski

Literally, the language of the standard. Like legalese:

Things have moved as far as actual reflection in the language being
proposed for C++26:
