In principle, I prefer that to another name retrieval property. It seems 
redundant to implement two name retrieval properties that will return 
the same thing in many cases (and explicitName will return NULL whenever 
they are different).

That said, having to check an additional property does mean an extra 
call, which will have a slight performance impact. Even so, the AT will 
probably need the name regardless, even if it treats it differently 
based on whether it is "explicit".
