I was not aware this was a problem.

Based on the rest of the Bpy API, I would expect NMesh to have
a Get() method that either returns the named object or a list
of all the Nmeshes.  To just get the names and not the entire
object, we could apply the name_only=1 metaphor we used in
Object.getData().

Is this different than Scene.GetCurrent() ?
