I really dislike any notion of a public setName() method. Perhaps it would be
better to allow points to create their own children. If that is not viable
for whatever reason then you could make constructors look like
class MyPoint
{
MyPoint( Point parent, String myName )
{
super( parent, myName );
}
}
and the name would be set via
parent.getName() + myName
however the method getName() would be protected, package or private access
(depending on what we could get away with) and done in the case class.
