 I would like to advocate that `WP_Curie` instances be immutable and that
 they be dispensed from a factory class that checks to see if one exists
 for the prefix/reference yet and returns it if so or instantiates it and
 keep track of it if not.

 My former `WP_Object_Type` class used this approach in
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/35658/35658.17.diff
 35658.17.diff].
