It is more that iterator order is not defined unless you are a list. So
while we could use Set<Name> (presumably to indicate that we are not going
to have duplicate names) it would fail to capture the idea of an order.
SortedSet would capture the idea of an order (but is otherwise crazy since
the various implementations expect the objects to be compariable etc...)
So my money is on List<Name> and we can document that duplicate names are a
mistake.
