<pre>All DOM interfaces generate compile-time HashTables of their properties. We used to use these HashTables instead of runtime data structures, but we don't anymore. Now, we always call reifyStaticProperties to turn a HashTable into a Structure on demand.
Instead of a HashTable, we should auto generate code to create a Structure, and we should eliminate the auto generated HashTables.
Benefits:
(1) We can more reliably disable DOM features at runtime;
(2) Less boilerplate to read through, translating one (useless) format to another.
(3) Shorter compile times, since we don't need to compute all the hash tables.</pre>
