public class Name

extends Object

This is a general purpose name object to allow efficient sharing of duplicate names in the system. It does this by creating a global HashTable of all names that have been constructed. Names are different from Atoms in that they can be qualified by a separate namespace string - so in effect that are compound atoms.
