Of course. The interesting thing here is not that you might have
missed this possibility, but that this descriptor thing is turning
out to be particularly powerful. I was warry of it at first, but am
beginning to become convinced that it is useful enough to be worth
adding to the language.

I guess in the end it's as they say: "there's only one trick in
computer science... adding another layer of indirection". But it's
a very powerful trick.
