This function “identifies” an object, i.e. returns a unique ID according to the octiron logic. That means that:
-
For classes, a stringified version is returned
-
For hashes, the hash itself is returned
-
Strings are interpreted as constant names, and are returned fully qualified.
-
Everything else is considered to be a constant name in the default namespace. This requires access to a @default_namespace variable in the including class.
