Proliferation of files is a bad idea.  If you have enough reflective memory,
you could use dynamic allocation, and include a hash table in the reflective
memory to look up names.  All IOC's would first look up the name, and if it
did not exist, would add it dynamically.  A semaphore (soft or hard, depending
upon what the hardware supports) would protect the hash table.
