I think I'd want to see a new type created to represent a handle to a specific 
name attribute, and then the ability to get those handles, and pass them back 
into new APIs for getting values, metadata, etc.

IOW, I don't think the current APIs are right to reference them by name only, 
and I'd deprecate them in favor of getting it right. The old ones would still 
work as is, just without the ability to make such distinctions.
