Hi Martin, just a minor note along the way:

For this simple common case, it's better to say:

        def sr := makeSturdyRef.temp(obj)

A "temporary sturdy reference" sounds like an oxymoron, but it really means 
"sturdy against partition and crash of the client vat, but not sturdy against 
crash of the vat hosting the designated object"
