Yeah, you're probably gonna be stuck writing your own registry of
objects.  When an object goes out, you just put it in a table and assign
it an ID.

The immediate question that comes up is, when does an entry get
*removed* from the table?  Isn't a pain to handle the distributed memory
allocation?  Yes, it is, but in fact you have to face this problem
anyway, and most solutions will involve *some* sort of registry anyway.

Good luck.  Last time I worked on a distributed object system, I just
didn't clear the tables, and didn't run any demos long enough that
memory ran out.  It was okay for demos.  :)
