I would vote for correctness than ease of coding. If it takes some effort to go look at every object, then so be it. What you really want is that displaying some built-in text on some objects should be optional, then that is what it should be. Making it invisible obscures the intention. Who knows, when someone gets around to coding this, they might notice an abstraction that helps in ways not currently foreseen.
