Java doesn't provide any way to get a unique string from an object. We could
construct our own ID by assigning each box a number or something, but that
would be ugly.

Not at all. org.xwt.js allows you to use any object as a key in a hashtable
(even boxes). The only thing this takes away from you is the ability to do
ibex.log.info("Box is: " + box) The output from this isn't very helpful
anyway so I don't think this is a problem.
