How does this mesh with the helper API and NodeContainer ? Do you expect
users to call container.Get (i)->SetName () ?

Is this the only use-case ? At some point, you mentionned on irc
NodeList::GetNode (name). is this something you would still to add ?
What about NodeContainer::GetNode (name) ? What happens when multiple
nodes have the same name ?
