Hello,

I=E2=80=99m a bit late to the party, but after reading the RFC I still do n=
ot understand the difference between Ghost and Proxy.
I do understand the technical internal difference, I think, of 1 vs 2 objec=
ts, and the API differences of passing a constructor vs a factory function.
But I do not understand the difference from the caller point of view, how w=
ould I choose when to use one or the other depending on my usecase?

What does Proxy allows that Ghost do not?

Or do Proxy only make sense when returning a parent class from the factory =
method?
