NAM — Binding a Stringified Name

The NamingContextExt interface has a resolve_str
operation that takes a string and returns its
binding.

I suggest to add a converse bind_str operation:

void bind_str (in StringName sn, in Object obj)
raises (NotFound, CannotProceed, InvalidName,
AlreadyBound);

That would allow not only lightweight clients to
use the Naming Service, but also lightweight servers
to publish their references as easily as possible.

(And a Lightweight Naming Service would be possible
that just implemented these two operations.)
