We have heard these horror tales about everyone making "everything 
DynamicLookupable" and this being extremely bad, but can anyone actually 
produce a believable example? It's not like it's absurdly convenient to 
implement this, the ergonomics are at the call site, not the implementation. It 
sounds like you think that just conforming to DynamicMemberLookupProtocol and 
DynamicCallable will magically make everything in the code dynamic with no 
extra effort.
