While that would be convenient, I'm not sure the quantity of information
is really so large that it is an issue to do a linear search.
How many profile can you imagine being installed on a system ?
10 ? 20 ? 100 ? More than 100 is a lot of profiles, because a lot
of work needs to go into making each one of them!
