Managed components should be able to access their own GID

[reported by blelbach] [Trac time Thu Oct 6 12:27:09 2011] The user has to pay for the full id_type member of the managed_component_base class, so I think the base_gid should be available to the user.

[comment by hkaiser] [Trac time Thu Oct 6 13:39:03 2011] Do you mind elaborating on that? What do you mean by 'the base_gid should be available to the user'. Isn't it already available to the user?

Just to clarify: you mean that it is currently not possible for a managed component code to retrieve its own gid, no?
