Comment (by westonruter):

 In [changeset:"41750"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="41750"
 Customize: Allow controls to be created with pre-instantiated `Setting`
 object(s), or even with plain `Value` object(s).

 * Allow passing settings in keyed object (e.g. `settings: { default: 'id'
 }  ), or as an array (e.g. `settings: [ 'id' ]`) with first being default;
 again, `Setting`/`Value` objects may be supplied instead of IDs.
 * Allow a single setting to be supplied with just a single `setting`
 param, either a string or a `Setting`/`Value` object.
 * Update `changeset_status` and `scheduled_changeset_date` to be added
 dynamically with JS and simply passing of `api.state()` instances as
 `setting`.
 * Introduce a `data-customize-setting-key-link` attribute which, unlike
 `data-customize-setting-link`, allows passing the setting key (e.g.
 `default`) as opposed to the setting ID.
 * Allow `WP_Customize_Control::get_link()` to return `data-customize-
 setting-key-link` when setting is not registered.
 * Eliminate `default_value` from `WP_Customize_Date_Time_Control` since
 now comes from supplied `Value`.
 * Export status choices as
 `wp.customize.settings.changeset.statusChoices`.
 * Export date and time formats as `wp.customize.settings.dateFormat` and
 `wp.customize.settings.timeFormat` respectively.
