 I thought it might be useful for this class to be flexible to support
 other use-cases than "type" and "subtype" for the future, so I worked on
 such an approach, based on your class:

 https://gist.github.com/felixarntz/a678b7913e268111fda0666824fe4b31

 This allows to set flexible keys (here it's "type" and "subtype"), for
 example in a derivated class. We could also go a little further and make
 the class and the `set_keys()` method abstract, and then we would
 introduce another class named something like `WP_Object_Type_Curie` that
 implements that method.
