Comment:

 I've checked the changes (in revision 2340).  All are OK, but I have one
 last question: in name_python.cc (line 647)

 {{{root_name->name = new Name(".")}}}

 was replaced with

 {{{root_name->name = const_cast<Name*>(&Name::ROOT_NAME())}}}

 In the original assignment, the "Name" object was allocated on the heap.
 In the replacement, the "Name" object returned by Name::ROOT_NAME() is a
 statically-declared singleton.  If root_name is ever destroyed, the
 destructor will not be able to deleted the pointed-to Name object.
