do they really? surely there are many cases where meshes have different 
relations to different objects, but i dont know if this is the way to express 
that

is the case of vert influences the only one where MeshData has a relation to 
some object? i know there are several things in the modifier stack that 
reference to whatever, but that is different. hm.

how did you think of this in relation to the idea of moving much of the api to 
be with BlenderObjects - would it make any sense to instead of 
MeshData.influences to have MeshObject.influences ? dunno

just wondering,
not having an idea about this really
