An XCSG Node represents an entity or state in the software being modeled.
All nodes have names, which should be a brief, human-friendly text string representing the node. For nodes representing named software entities, the name will be its name in that namespace.
For other nodes, it will be a brief, human-friendly representation of the type of the node, but need not uniquely identify it. For example, an appropriate name for both the subtraction and negation operators is "-", which makes sense as the label of such a node in a data flow graph.
