oh - totally forgot to respond to this!

So: out of all of the mode objects, Connectors are a bit special. They can
actually be created and destroyed after registration (hence why they have a
refcount). This is not terribly difficult to handle before registration, the
complication comes after registration - where we'll likely need to split
Connector into two different types:

UnregisteredConnector

Connector

Where you have to sacrifice the UnregisteredConnector to get to the Connector
object. I don't think this will actually be too difficult to implement, I just
didn't get around to it yet because there were so many other open questions I
had about the design here in general.
