I agree that this would be a nice feature. The problem we encounter with
this is related to language translations - matching by name would
require possibly multiple levels of name translation from one language
to another. With a bit of work, it should be solvable. The biggest issue
we have is prioritizing something like this against many of the other
tasks we have. Referencing by number is ugly, but it works. And since
few people that we know of are using the command line interface (other
than the development team, who uses it for regression testing), we tend
to focus on things that the average user would see.

This is something that I would like to see. If someone would like to
provide patches for us, it would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, it
will probably have to wait until we get some of the larger issues
resolved.
