    I recently added allowDeclaredFields so that I could utilize the
    declare modifier for variables. However, with Babel, this isn't what
    we want.

    Normally, any variable defined in a class but not set to a value will be
    simply left out of the prototype (an implicit undefined), but with
    this setting enabled, only variables with declare will be left out
    (everything else will be set to an explicit undefined).

    That breaks checks like this.prototype.hasOwnProperty(...) that should
    have been false if a variable was not explicitly set.

    We can instead avoid declare and just define it, getting the same
    results. This only really matters to us today for static variables
    promoted to prototype attributes through Spina.

    Rebuilt all static media and verified the breakages in unit tests have
    been fixed.
