NamedObjectDatabase (Strange Eons API)

```
public interface NamedObjectDatabase
```
This interface defines the Java-side interface to the named object database that can be obtained from StrangeEons.getNamedObjects(). The purpose of the database is to allow plug-in scripts to share objects and communicate with each other. This interface provides a way to access these objects from compiled Java code as well.
