Indeen, I also still have the impression that Jen is thinking in terms
of variables that are possible aliased such as you can have in a
language like C, instead of objects with one or more names like we have
in Python. Jens, in the Python model you really have to think of the
objects largely independently of the names that are or are not
referencing the objects.
