the same way as you get the name of that cat you found
on your porch: the cat (object) itself cannot tell you
its name, and it doesn't really care -- so the only way
to find out what it's called is to ask all your neigh-
bours (namespaces) if it's their cat (object)...

...and don't be surprised if you'll find that it's known
by many names, or no name at all!
