Hi, The other thread about #subobject and #set_internal reminded me that I've been meaning to ask about this: Currently #subobject names all the subobjects it creates in the form Page name#hash (I referred to the hash previously, incorrectly, as a random string). There's a problem with this

Hi Alexey, Yes, that's a good point - I actually thought about an approach like that, but forgot to include it in the email. A property called Sort (a name like Has index might be a little clearer) would solve this problem - and it would be a more semantic solution. On the other hand, it would

Hi, Since you don't want to have a long bikeshed, I'll keep it short. :) I don't like the idea of having a different namespace for each page type; it seems unnecessarily complicated. If you like that specific naming structure, you could always just start page names with Hooks:, without the need
