I have no strong opinion on whether to use the name-field here or not.

Using the name-field rather than adding a new one could perhaps be
less confusing to current parsers.

not be able to add anything here. This *is* a real issue, but I'll defer
this one to Linus and Alexandre.

Perhaps we should just leave things as they are.
