Hmm... this change would certainly be in line with what "Morph new printString" looks like. :-) I recall a not-too-distant discussion about adding the hash to any object's printOn:.

I disagree with this. Only certain processes are named. Including the destiny name of unnamed processes just introduces noise. By all means include the name of named processes, but please *don???t* add verbosity where it is unhelpful.
+1. You are so right. Assigning a *name* for human consumption establishes the intent of the human's desire to utilize its #name as the basis for its consumption. If specific identity distinction is needed, then set it as part of its name, but we should not include arbitrary attributes in its #printString. If such additional identity attributes are needed, they should be consumed by sending the appropriate messages from the appropriate places (UI).
Eliot and Chris both think that this was a bad idea. I don't understand the objection, but if no one speaks up in support of it, I will revert the merge in a day or two.
I'd like to retain the synthetic name. It certainly helps people like me who read and write with a voice in their head.
