An elegant solution, I think, would be to make as many vertex groups as
there are Objects to join. Each group would bear the name of it's original
object with a suffix added, just in case that there already are other vertex
groups defined in the Object to join. Then when the time to separate back
into the original objects would come, these could get their name back.
