[Gambas-user] Optimalisation of default name property after copy of a control

[wig]

Another advantage is Confirmation of origin:

There is no other obvious way to see where this instance came from or is
copied from, and especially after fine-tuning properties like width,
colors etc. in the original, one might want to be sure to have used the
right one to copy from.
