Fairly common patterns like
var p = {
fontsize: 15,
lineheight: 22,
color: 0x000,
fontfamily: "Georgia, FreeSerif, Times, serif"
};
p.color = "white";
We need flexible slots without allocating 2x memory.
For "for like" constructs we typically use static analysis to reduce to
integer. With TaggedArray slots for frames we could use integer dynamically.
