I came across a minor annoyance when working with the RelativePosition class. It has a fairly long list of arguments, and while they are all defaulted there's no way to declare just e.g. the last variable without also defining all of them so, if you want to specify a minHeight (the final parameter in the list) you have to do something like this:
new RelativePosition("100%", "100%", "0px", "0px", "0px", "0px", "0px")
An alternative design pattern is to use an object for the inputs. The object can be defined with defaults, and would then allow calling the function like this:
new RelativePosition({minHeight: "0px"})
And all other variables become defaulted.
I imagine this pattern may be useful in many places across the codebase.
