[DGD] Virtual objects

[Arnau Rossell=?US-ASCII?Q?=F3?= Castell=?US-ASCII?Q?=F3?=]

Hi, i'm trying to implement some kind of pervasive virtual objects, that could 
be used everywhere; And the best way i can think of is something along these 
lines:
-Close compile_object for calls outside the kernel.
-Fix clone_object() to transparently compile master files if necesary, clone 
them, and add the virtual name as an entry to a mapping, with the value being 
the actual object.
- fix call_other(),call_out(),object_name(), etc... to look at said mapping and 
replace strings for actual objects when needed.

I think this would add a lot of overhead if deployed as the standard way to 
refer to objects, and i'm not sure it's benefits would pay for it, is there a 
better way to do it? Is this way actually that slow?

Thanks in advance.

PD: What are exactly those lightweight objects? How can I use them and what are 
they good for? the mailing list logs aren't explicit enough about them(or i 
haven't looked hard enough, whatever).
