That doesn't make a lot of sense. A Mib object represents a MIB and the methods 
of a Mib object reflect that. If a Mib object represented more that one MIB, 
then what would getRootSymbol() return? 

I suspect that you need to make more use of the MibLoader and I'm fairly sure 
you need to think more about the problem you are trying to solve. If I recall 
correctly, the MibLoader caches the Mibs that it loads, so you can ask it for a 
Mib more than once, and it won't load the MIB multiple times. 

You might be wanting to search all of the MIBs that have been loaded for a 
symbol. I do that by looping through an array of all the Mib objects I've 
loaded, searching each of them in turn. I check the returned symbol to ensure 
that it is either a scalar or table column because the find method will return 
a best match, not necessarily an exact match.
