Especially because of:

declare
   X : Integer;
   procedure Foo (Y : Integer) is
   begin
       Put_Line (Y'Name);
   end Foo;
begin
   Foo (X); -- What will Foo output, "X" or "Y"?
end;

And in general any sort of identity, a name is one, for objects is a
dangerous thing, which should be avoided, if possible of course.
