--------------------------------------------------------

If we had a configuration file mapping cluster names to IDs, we could replace the cluster name with the ID (a short), and only send IDs around rather than strings.

If we want to do without this file, or don't find it, we could simply generate the ID as a hash of the cluster name. If 2 cluster names happen to hash to the same ID, we would accept the traffic, but most likely de-serialization would fail anyway.

> If a cluster name (the name used in Channel.conect()) is long, because we ship it with each message (in the TP header), this blows up the size of the marshalled messages.
> Maybe we can canonicalize the cluster name shipped with each message, similar to what we want to do with Addresses, e.g. replace the cluster name with a short.
