yeah, that's the word! I knew it but forgot. Maybe because this is also 
called "eyelet" in direct translation from Polish

not at all! Use solder sucker and then the wire can be easily unwrapped. 
It goes so well that the wire is good enough for resoldering again. I 
did that for entire 55 moog modular, and that's close to a thousand 
wires probably.

It's easy to solder multiple spots when you first wrap a dozen cables or 
so, and then just solder.
