Description

Improvement no. 1

The overload of Name::append() that takes a Block has confusing semantics. It has a different behavior if the passed Block is a GenericNameComponent, but does not apply the same special treatment to other typed name components. And this gets even more confusing when we consider that we have another append() overload that takes a Component and that Component is a subclass of Block. This means that appending a non-generic name component may have very different results depending on whether it's passed as a Block or as a Component. I propose to deprecate and eventually remove the Name::append(Block) overload.
