The only form of name-tags actually implemented were
dynamic-name-tags. (The desired effects of static name-tags were
obtained through the use of dynamic name-tags.) A dynamic name-tag was
represented by a unique name, carried in the data part of a
capability. A hash table, maintained in an ECS file by the directory
system, provided an index into a C-list, private to the directory
system. This C-list contained the capabilities, if any, currently
associated with each dynamic name-tag.
