Currently it generates a name that looks like classname_commid_number where number is incremented sequentially. I would lean towards always naming everything so that a unique identifier is available. Unfortunately, doing so would make all the test output non-reproducible because the identifier (for generated names) includes some run-dependent information (commid above). Maybe name everything, but have an option to turn it off? Jed
