I just thought of another one. For some time, I've felt that it would be
nice to be able to give names to patches which, in the hardware device
itself, doesn't have a name. The Behringer FCB1010 is an example; it has
no display on it and the patch format doesn't support names.

However, what if there was something like:
    HashValueNameModel(Preferences pref);

The idea is that, when the user triggered a "setPatchName", the
HashValueNameModel would calculate the hashvalue of the patch data and
store the name in a preferences file (probably the one that JSL gave to
the driver when it was instantiated)... and could also look them up from
getPatchName.
