any objection to using primitive 146 for allInstances and 147 for allObjects? I like using numbers for the core primitives and these seem like core ones.
Why? It probably doesn’t matter much anymore since you’re changing the OM layout but I did once have hopes of cutting down to less than 127 numbered prims to use only 7 bits in the header. I actually had vague thoughts about having only a few, all to do with loading the named prims… There hasn’t been any speed penalty (once hooked up) for named prims in some years now.
