Don't get that one

Which in the end means "support for abitrary numbers of name services".

I don't understand what you want to put in modules. Don't use mixins if 
they are not really needed. Usually, base classes do the trick just fine.

Aren't the two points the same ?

Can't have that, since the TaskContext can only be created if it has an 
underlying remote task object (i.e. a CORBA proxy in our case). I would 
really prefer to keep the .new private (people can't call it directly)

I would prefer keeping .get instead of .resolve
