Well, that would make my life easier I think (even if it's a bit more
work), so unless there are objections I will do things this way. It's a
bit of a pity that Robert and Dimitri went to huge lengths to have these
functions return OID and we're now changing it all to ObjAddress
instead, but oh well.
