Sounds dodgy, though you can see how it might be easiest.  Perhaps
nobody ever tried to add refs to anything get_proxies returns.  I used
it because I though I could share a bit of "update them all" code with
"new one added".

If it's not a constructor then it's not right to sink, is it?  A very
tedious distinction, but I suppose one that has to be respected.  Other
plain "get" stuff presumably is the same, except I guess they're already
sunk by the time you get there (eg. $container->get_children).
