Comment (by aristath):

 @mdgl that would require significantly refactoring parts of WordPress
 Core... and would most probably cause backwards-compatibility issues.
 You'd need a mechanism to store those object references, another one to
 retrieve them ,expand them and so on. There a re a bunch of plugins out
 there that query the database directly, so all those would probably break
 if we change the schema.
 The current implementation is battle-tested and just works. All it needs
 in my opinion is just a couple of tweaks...
