I thought that children asking parents was considered
bad form.
Yes, because it makes reuse impossible.
However in the case of Magritte this is for a composite of private
component classes that make up a single form. The parent information
is only maintained within this group and was introduced to be able to
replace the outermost editor component with a new form.
