Current object, member or namespace IDs are simple std::string types, e.g. fqon_t or fqnn_t. These are sufficient for addressing nyan objects, but are not suitable for advanced operations like:

• Rebuilding the directory/file path of an object (e.g. for fetching relative file referenced by the file type)
• Getting the namespace an object is in
• Checking if an object is nested
• Checking if a member ID is prefixed (with inheritance info)

Ideally, we want something that captures all of these features while still being as easy to use as std::string.

A good start would be to have a class that manages the individual parts of an fqon:

struct fqon_t {
  std::vector<std::string> dir_parts;
  std::string file_part;
  std::vector<std::string> obj_parts;
};
