Simple : I (want to) load just every .shape file I can find in the
relevant subtrees. Afterwards, I forget the file names, and use only
ObjectType names. [Currently, I let the older code find the index.sheet
files and load the shapes, if I have time before this afternoon, I'll
change that, write the remaining .sheet files and eliminate the old sheet
registration mechanism]

yup, I found that while coding (ahem...). Since I originally didn't want
to expose user_data for shapes (there's no attribute intdata in <shape>),
it wasn't a problem.
