 combines the best of both worlds (fixed "handles" + no extra BList). This
 also makes it simple to find the view in question using BView::FindView().
 All that would be needed on the server side would be to make sure the
 string literals are assigned to a const char* somewhere. How does that
 sound to you?

 Yes, but the overhead will still be small, considering the small number of
 strings to compare, and the likelihood of 'short-circuiting' most
 comparisons (e.g. they fail on the first or second character). It will of
 course be slower than a constant time operation (as we have now).
