How to distinguish between multiple clones of a stack?

[Doug Lerner]

So...

Are you saying something like:

1. clone a stack
2. set the name of the stack to something unique
3. close the stack again and
4. set the name of the stack to something unique
etc

rather than leaving them all with the name "Copy of stack thisStack"?

What about the fact that the ids are the same?
