Someone also suggested that object naming move to join caching. If we take Jesper's suggestion then object naming would become part of this new chapter too. It all makes sense to me but I do not know who has the cycles to do the work.

(and therefore no attribute copy functions for windows.)

I agree with that. A not so modest proposal (requiring work) would be to have a seperate chapter on object caching, and merge that with the chapter on the info object (which is too short on its own, and still has the hopeless "miscellany" title)?
