 We don't need that.  The descendant constructors can just assign the
 respective properties their object-specific values.

 For example, the ancestor class defines the `get_title` method:

 {{{
 function get_title() {
    return $this->_title;
 }
 }}}

 So for post objects upon instantiation:

 {{{
 $this->_title = $this->post_title;
 }}}

 and for terms:

 {{{
 $this->_title = $this->name;
 }}}
