This was discussed some days back, Ann give a good explanation of the
difficulties to implement it.

I always asked myself why the system tables don't use a surrogate key
and if it could be used changing he name of a table or column would be
trivial since all objects (SP, triggers, views, etc.) would contain the
objectid instead of the table name. At least this is how I see it, of
course I could (and probably is) wrong :-)

see you !
