llvm dev - Jul 2011 - [LLVMdev] StructType::setName(...)

My apologies if this has already been discussed/explained (reference?).

In browsing the new type system implementation, I was wondering if someone could
give a simple
example of why one would want to reset the name of a previous realized
StructType
instance (setBody(...) has been called). My curiosity is enhanced by the fact
that
reseting a name of a StructType instance may result in a symbol table collision
which
would result in the renamed name not matching the parameter name to
setName(...).
This question is for my own edification. It is not rhetorical. 

Thanks in advance

The only current client of it is the strip pass, which calls
setName("").
