Sometimes you just want a set of all object identities with a
specific property so that you can query for that property.
It is the same a the "tag" reference type in Pony lang. It is
safe for multi-threading too.
Say, if a thread is waiting for a set of futures to complete then
it can remove object identities from the set based on events.
