The Scala API needs a lot of refactoring anyways, to bring it in sync with the Java API.
In the Java API, there is a way to define names. When both ought to be in sync, we should follow a similar wa there.
I think the Java API allows to set the name in the fluent method syntax, and takes the "toString()" method of the function object, if nothing else is defined. Can we to the same in the Scala API?
