Comment:

 @celloexpressions if you register a control with empty/invalid settings at
 the moment, it throws a fatal error: “Call to a member function
 check_capabilities() on a non-object.” Anyway, it's not changing the
 paradigm, it's just ensuring that you can create a control without having
 to specify settings (expanding the paradigm). I expect this was not
 accounted for in the original architecture of the Customizer because
 controls were originally intended to always have related settings.
