To go back to the code, I mainly inherited from UE as
a "spirit" thing and b/c makeObject was there and
generic. So the interface suggestion was to make UE
implement some e.g. ProxyElement interface that
declares makeObject(), have Clone implement the same
interface and method, then change the "if UE" block in
UE.makeObject() to "if ProxyElement". I feel a little
weird about making existing methods satisfy the
contract of new interfaces, but I don't think it
breaks anything.
