It depends on the behavior when a name changes hands. If I get a proxy
for org.foo.Bar and process 1 drops the name and process 2 acquires the
name, should my proxy now refer to process 1, process 2 or neither?

(More normally when a process exits and then connection again).

At least, that's what the equivalent in Java does.
