OK, put it this way: if we were to choose name=__noname__ as the
value, I'd make it my life ambition to get a road named as __noname__
just to screw it up. Granted I might have to buy a farm or something
so that the road was privately owned, but anyway. The point is it's a
bad idea, and will cause many things to fail inelegantly.
