 Replying to [comment:4 scribu]:
 > Won't that get weird when you replace WP_Customize with your own
 instance? (If you can't replace it with your own instance, what's the
 point of having an instance at all?)

 WP_Customize is basically just a namespace. In that situation, $this is
 convenient, more so over a group of static methods. At the moment,
 WP_Customize is final. Even if it weren't made final, we could do
 something to avoid instance overwriting.

 Ultimately, getting the instance from WP_Customize just isn't needed in
 common practice. You'd only need it if you need to unhook something. So
 it's good to provide a basic interface. But we don't need to go crazy with
 it. Whatever works, I'm happy with.
