Navigator 6.4 alpha 1 is out

[Geoff Canyon]

Yeah (sigh) it's down to the fact that you can *get* the short name of
something, but you can't *set* the short name of something. So I need to
special case that one property :-(

It's been an annoyance forever, but I always put off fixing it because it
offends me.

But since you brought it up I'll go ahead and special case it. Any
preference on whether I should call the property "name" but special case to
display/edit the short name, or instead to call the property "short name"
but set the name? I lean toward continuing to call the property "name" and
special case the display, but I'm open to arguments.
