Subject: wish: make ->name() work as an instance method
The current way of handling ->name() is sub-optimal. Using a class method is like setting a global, and can cause problems under mod-perl. Support for calling name() as an instance method should be added, and recommended as the default use, while still supporting the Old Way. Mark
