Yes, a GDALDriver knows its name. But the static method implemented by
pfnOpen doesn't know which driver it comes from, so it doesn't set the
poDriver member of the GDALDataset* it returns, and let that job to
GDALOpen() itself. Which saves to do this in hundreds of drivers, and
potentially forgetting to do it.
This the same problem in the Node.js bindings, I am in the static
Driver.open and I need the driver name from the GDALDriver object to be
able to construct a GDALOpenEx call.
