Ok fair enough.  I guess I just saw two root problems not just one.  You
mentioned there existing multiple names for the same object.  I was
thinking of the of there not existing any name for an object which makes
sense at a 'system wide' level.  In any case.  We might be able to get
some more pathname like info, but it's never (like Casey so sagely said)
going to be truely useful....
