In all grammars that I wrote so far, I needed "get by name", usually in several places. Unfortunately, the Xtext developers refuse to support the more natural EMap feature (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=354799)

Ed Merks created the Xcore project which contains the same boiler plate code in its example (http://ed-merks.blogspot.com/2011/08/xcore-coolness-reborn.html):

op Book getBook( String title ) { ... }

Who else is writing silly "for x in list { if x.name == name return x }" loops and wants to get rid of it? Or has to get rid of it because of the runtime cost?
