I know that you're doing it in other patches, but I don't think we need
to do that. It's not like we will make obj->def private. But maybe I'm
missing big picture here. What is your reasoning why should vir*ObjNew
take def? Moreover, other object members are initialized "old way" too
(e.g. obj->base64File). So mixing approaches might be confusing IMO.

Yeah, I'd prefer it to be dropped, but then again - maybe I'm missing
big picture. So I'm not gonna tell you to do that.
