Refactored the implementation of the dynamic lookup of properties and functions on EvaluationContextExtensions. All the reflective lookup logic has moved into an EvaluationContextExtensionAdapter. We now also distinguish between the meta-information that can be looked up once and cached (so that we avoid reflection overhead for subsequent context creations).
