name <-lookup: char_array -> name

The methods name->register and name<-lookup form a pair that guarantee the uniqueness of name objects. If a string (char_array) is to be converted into a name object, the PCE object creation system will first call name<-lookup, which attempts a lookup in the name-table. On failure, the object creation system will call name->initialise to create a name. name->initialise calls name->register which registers the new name in the name-table.
