And it's true that we could in fact just instantiate the object

the original QOM conversion so I don't feel guilty, I don't normally use
-device foo,? so not affected, I followed Anthony's instructions for how
to and how not to implement things. In a few cases Anthony has changed
his mind (method inheritence for instance) but for that you'll need to
discuss with him and not just argue with me about something that Anthony
has decided in the past. That's just pissing me off because it feels
like a waste of my time.
You are not alone. I remember we spent lots of time trying to convince
Anthony to allow global properties and compat_props affect dynamic
properties not just static properties, and static properties were a big
deal due to reasons I didn't understand completely. Now I am hearing the
opposite message, and I don't understand the reasons for the change of
plans. I am confused.
