This used to be how many Web APIs worked, but over the years we've 
received enormous volumes of feedback to the effect that constructor-based 
APIs are way better than factory-based APIs. Is there no way we could at 
least have all the canvases within a Document in Firefox use the same 
backend? It would be really unfortunate to have to use factories here to 
get around an implementation detail in one browser.
