 Also, I think this in addition to making things devilishly hard to debug,
 misses one of the big benefits of this proposal, which is having the same
 set of standard properties and methods across different types of objects.

 For example, I want to be able to be able to return all sorts of objects
 after a search.  Then I should be able to iterate over all of them with
 links and summaries, etc., agnostic about the particular kind of object
 returned.  That way categories, posts, pages, custom post types, etc., can
 all be part of the Loop and use the same link, headline, and paragraph
 markup.
