Subject: [PATCH] Remove Properties utility type and use Pick directly instead,
 because Properties includes a class's methods, not just its properties, which
 is not desired, but cannot be worked around at this time, because TypeScript
 currently offers no way to form a union type of only those instance
 properties of a type which equal undefined on its prototype, presumably
 because a prototype is a value, not a type, and only types can be queried at
 compile time because that's the simple and straightforward way for it to
 work, in spite of the fact that the initial state of a class's prototype
 object at runtime *could* be statically calculated at compile time by
 analyzing the class's structure, if they *wanted* to, harumpf harumpf.
