This is exactly my point. The address is meaningless¹, but it is a sure way to distinguish instances of the same components without tons of fragile code. 1: In a debugger, the address would be available without printing. > I do think *item_name() should be used more often. Making sure it returns something different for different instances without the code getting complex and/or the name getting long is quite a challenge. This fruit is neither low-hanging nor tasty. My position on this: leave the address alone unless one has a very good idea to achieve the goal.
