There's a lot of historical discussion of this "object references" 
issue, if considering it suggest searching the archives for some of the 
threads and trying to summarize the issues in one writeup.

It's a major can of worms in certain ways, I would not do it for 1.0.

I think it's more something that "seems elegant" than something that's 
genuinely all that useful. But then I'm in the "do IPC explicitly" camp 
not the "network transparency" camp most of the time.
