That won't be a problem in SoundScript though, because any code which tries to access a property which
might
be missing is unsound, so it won't "compile" (or rather, it won't pass the type checker).

In order for this to work, the type needs to be statically known, which in turn means type casts would be required when asserting a downcast.
Javascript littered with casts is nothing I want to see. I don't know about you.
