Yes, but then we lose niceties like AA literals and good declaration syntax.  What
would be gained by moving stuff into Object compared to improving the
implementation within the existing paradigm?  On the other hand, the current
implementation *could* use some improvement.  (In a few minutes when it's written,
see post on AA implementation.  I've been meaning to post this for a while.)
