I support it purely by retaining the last referenced named object.
This has some obvious grammatical precedent weaknesses, but it works
often enough I find it useful.

Similarly here. The IT value is an Object ID for an object that no
longer exists. Its not a counted reference, so there's no GC based
trying to keep anything in memory or existance (ie the book does get
deleted). It's purely an ID. The result is that the user gets back
something like:
> Drop the bood into the incinerator and then read it
The book burns merrily!
That no longer exists.
Not as pretty as it could be, but workable.
