Re: caching and naming other handles

I'm quite happy to have naming only on communicators. (Which was what
I originally proposed !)

The caching issues are more complex, the basic problem is that many
implementations use reference counted objects, and there is a
non-trivial issue about the level at which the cached information
should live if it is not to be (incorrectly) shared in such an
implementation.
