What advice can I get on a process registry solution for local (only)
lookup using term() rather than atom()?

The obvious candidates are erlang:register/2 for atoms and
global:register_name/2 for other terms:

   erlang:register(Name :: atom()), PidOrPort) ->
   global:register_name(Name :: term(), Pid) ->

Which is fine however when it will only be used locally global is a
heavyweight solution.

Should I roll my own using ets?  A process? Other?
