We were considering this. It does fit the use-case nicely by the sound of it. But for LLDB it was much more convenient for the preferred name to be encoded as a reference to the DIE, not a raw string (I haven't actually tried implementing it purely based on the name of the type. We'd have to do a lookup into the accelerator tables by name at the very least I guess)
