+Tests that the reflection removal step:
+ 1. Comments out the import of reflection_capabilities.dart
+ 2. Comments out the instantiation of `ReflectionCapabilities`
+ 3. Adds the appropriate import.
+ 4. Adds the call to `initReflector`
+ 5. Does not change line numbers in the source.
+ 6. Makes minimal changes to source offsets.
