Web IDL is meant to represent patterns that are:

1. Common.
2. Encouraged.

People can define arbitrarily complex processing of input, of course; that's what the `any` and `object` escape hatches are for.

In this case, we have two specs that both use `object`, but they're doing completely different processing on them.  How would you want to represent this in IDL other than as `object`?
