because some packages have the name only in the "name" as opposed to the 
"description".  for example:

*  dev-lang/perl
      Latest version available: 5.8.0-r10
      Latest version installed: 5.8.0-r10
      Size of downloaded files: 10,800 kB
      Homepage:    http://www.perl.org/
      Description: Larry Wall's Practical Extraction and Reporting Language

and desire to create.  but we also know it doesn't work to urge people to 
think outside the box without giving them the tools to climb out.
