Which is probably the same reason the HC team did it that way, because
the example they used to give involved the ease of extracting object
names. The name of an object is in the form:
stack "My Great Stack"
button "Click Me"
And if you wanted the short name you just got word 2 of the name. That
would be a single parameter that was easy to pass to the engine.
