The place I have it currently operating/running in my civgame, is in the
CvMainScreen, where the unit displays MainScreen, bottomleft - so you have
the unit graphic. As well thats the place where the text will be so long
it leaves the constraints of the panels onto the map.
When you hover over the unit, it still displays the (unitType) as usual
for the infoTip.
As for unitNaming upgrades - that currently is not performed/done.
Now it could be, would not be fairly easy too.

When this is done, how should upgraded units be handled? You build a
Warrior
Warrior 1 from London (Warrior)
and then upgrade it to an Axeman:
Warrior 1 from London (Axeman)
If you always remove "(unit type)", you won't be able to tell you have an
Axeman.
If you remove it only when it is contained in the name, then you end up
having it sometimes, and not others
Warrior 1 from London
Warrior 1 from London (Axeman)
which is also confusing.
If you change the name when a unit is upgraded (if it contains original
unit type, replace with new unit type), you lose the information that your
Axeman was once a Warrior.
Which is the least of three evils or is there another way?
[ I assigned it to Unit Naming because it touches several screens, but the
core relates to renamed units. ]
