I think that's reasonable.  We designed the schema with use by
programs in mind, not use by humans, and programs are happy enough
with UUIDs and so on, so we left out names.  But it doesn't cost much
to add a "name" column, so I guess we might as well do it.

Are you comfortable with writing a patch to add the column?  If not,
let know and I will do it.
