Well, it's just atoms. Like in X, or Windows DDE.
If it is just for URIs, we could maybe take advantage
of prefixes and
save some space in that table? lv2:Plugin is a lot nicer to deal with
in all cases than http://lv2plug.in/ns/spec/lv2core#Plugin....
I'd prefer it to be kept general, but that's just me. After all, that
memory will not be used except during plugin load or reconfiguration.
Maybe it's that I can't imagine how would prefix-based mapping work
reliably (would every URI be first turned into prefix form, then stored
or looked up in the table?).
