IdentityObject and InlineObject

OK, now we're getting to the actual problem you're concerned about -- 
that you think that there will be a lot of new binary compatibility 
issues as a result of this.  I am less worried about that, so perhaps 
you could outline where you think we're creating a problem, and we can 
evaluate whether that is bad?  Seems to me we may be in 
solution-to-not-really-a-problem territory.
