I'll be one of them on that list when it comes to m4.

Hmmm.. In all seriousness, how you envisioning the named objects working?  
Since all of the critical code is implemented in plpgsql, can't we just add a 
name to the relevent objects, and have the action function check the name 
column first, and if no matches, assume I passed in an id and cheke the id, 
and if it's not found then we just exist as normal ? It should be trvial to 
have slonik parser accept one or the other but not both.   or Am I missing 
something really simple here?
