Alternatively maybe its toString could be changed to drop the index (I would need to dig into the history to find out if there is really any use for the index in the String representation).

I think this would be OK, but would get to get someone from our security team to bless it.  

It might not be a bad idea to add a method to return the name as a String.  There are a couple of places where we do a new String(name) so would economize any future changes
