Well, another reason is that they're associated with the class, and can thus
be introspected as part of some protocol where you supply a class as an
argument.

I'm not recommending that or anything. You would be better off designing
some sort of specification object which included both a class AND those
values. I'm just pedantically addressing your "only reason" speculation. :=)
