A future patch moves to this style of managing 'name'.  I probably
should pull it back into this one though.  I'll go ahead and do that.

The main reason is that the 'name' parameter of a cfm object is not
necessarily fixed.  It can change arbitrarily at any time for any
reason by the client.   I think an obvious solution to this problem is
to require 'name' in cfm_create and remove it from the globally
visible struct cfm object.  Thus it won't be mutable.  I'll write up
an incremental.
