The Name class is supposed to handle what you are doing; if not please let me
know and we can fix it :-)
We introduced the Name interface when String was no longer cutting it; but yeah
give it a once over and let me know if does the job for you.
The other interesting aspect of your email was the idea of feeding a hint into
the factory.
In general we don't want the factory to be stateful (instead we wrap a builder
around it to be helpful and insert magic as needed).
Constructing it with a hint would actually work - at least the state would not
change at runtime which would make it safe to use.
Before you take that approach please consider the use of Name; it is already
there in order to encourage the gradual adoption of namespace.
