If it returns a Bonobo::Moniker, then it should be getMoniker.  If it
returns an IID...

I don't understand how a moniker would be very handy here. The utility
of monikers is in activation and direct access to interfaces and
sub-components, etc.. I don't see how that applies in this case.  The
purpose of this method is to determine how to activate a component which
can reload a stream/storage.  Sounds like an IID to me.
