Hmm. I wonder if this was an accident :) It is a fact that vlc_object_find() 
is a hack, that has caused lots of bugs in the past, and continues to be 
indirectly responsible for a number of limitations.

I'd actually rather people do not write _new_ code using it... so I am a bit 
mixed about this patch.
