That could do it as well.

So could this.

I guess we would need a hashmap for GUIDs as well, to do fast lookups. 
But the good thing about GUIDs are they have a set size (128 bit), hence 
they could be placed in structs that would in turn be placed in arrays 
and such. I think either the namespace model or the GUID would work, 
since they both do not have the ugly properties that indexes have.
