At this moment I'm not sure about adding it. In the end a name is just an uniqueness identifier. I personally tend to not track masters/slaves/replicas based on names, but instead check for functionality to make that determination. Connect to them all, run a check to see what they function is, use group_by to allow for easily targeting based on that check.
I wouldn't consider a rename as something that should happen often.
