Correct. > The main user of dynamic properties is > children properties. Converting dynamic properties into static ones is a good idea, because it simplifies reasoning about properties. I'm afraid it'll be a rather tedious job, and only at its end we'll be able to see what dynamic properties remain. Making -object blind to dynamic properties is a restriction unless these properties are of no use there. We can't know that now. If we get there and know, we'll have to protect that state somehow.
