This is exactly my point. The address is meaningless=B9, but it is a sure
way to distinguish instances of the same components without tons of
fragile code.

1: In a debugger, the address would be available without printing.

> I do think *item_name() should be used more often.

Making sure it returns something different for different instances
without the code getting complex and/or the name getting long is quite a
challenge.

This fruit is neither low-hanging nor tasty. My position on this: leave
the address alone unless one has a very good idea to achieve the goal.
