Hi Campbell and Stephen,

I'm committing a quick test, adding an optional keyword arg to 
object.getData():
obj.getData(only_name = True) will return only the name, not the object 
wrapper itself.  obj.getData() works as before, as well as: 0 or 1 or 
True or False and only_name = True or 1 or False or 0, as expected.  For 
readability, using .getData() to get obdata wrappers and 
.getData(only_name = True) for the name string is better, of course.

I'm not sure about "only_name" keyword, if anyone has a better 
suggestion, feel free to comment.

Anyway, just a test, tell me what you think.  We may also update the 
.Get() module functions with something like this later, Stephen.  As you 
say, at least for NMesh the economy makes it worthwhile.  Besides, 
unlinked objs and obdata can't be found from Python unless we know 
their  names.  Having a way to get a list of names for all available 
meshes, for example, could be useful.  Maybe something like done in 
Blender.Library, like someone (sorry!) suggested here a while ago.
