Various things (e.g. trace()) can refer to objects by name, but
ordinary simple objects don't have names.  I have been creating
objects with names by basically:

  #declare obj = object{ "lots of stuff" }
  obj

But it feels like having the #declare plus the object itself is
duplication.  Is there a better way to create the object and
name it in one step, so as to keep my scene unbloated?
