I like the fact that there will be a way out of the additional Object 
bloat without using extern(C++). (My preferred way out of this would 
still be to change Object.)

However, I strongly dislike the new interfaces with their opinions about 
which qualifiers have to be on which methods. `const` prevents any kind 
of lazy initialization, and realistically, what's the use case of those 
interfaces?
