The OpenEdge Hive

Does anyone have any objection to making nodetypes a static class ? The properties of each node type are gathered from the proparse server once. As a node class needs to determine the node type characteristics, we currently have to pass around the parseunit object so that the node can do

DEF PUBLIC PROPERTY Type AS CLASS NodeType NO-UNDO 
        GET(): 
         RETURN parseUnit:proparse:NodeTypes:Item(TypeNum).
        END GET . PROTECTED SET .

I would prefer to see

DEF PUBLIC PROPERTY Type AS CLASS NodeType NO-UNDO 
        GET(): 
         RETURN NodeTypes:Item(TypeNum).
        END GET . PROTECTED SET .

where NodeTypes is the static class.
