Correct.
There is no need for nametags because the memory representation of objects
in the world/scene is write-only for the parser.
(With the exception of #declare/#local which allow to give a name to
a template object which might be later instancied with object{...} )

Nametags are only usefull in modelers.

Same goes for a Class identifier: it is not useful because it is done
by the method pointer.
