What is the rational for this pythonism in Parrot core?

Python's builtin "cmp" is basially a Sub PMC. Parrot Sub's have already 
a name:

.sub main
    .const .Sub c = "cmp"
    print c
.end
.sub "cmp"
.end
So I think, you could translate access to the "__name__" attribute 
directly to VTABLE_name(). WRT NCI: The b3.py test doesn't need it, but 
I can imagine that the method name of Parrots "cmp" method is just 
"__cmp" and available with VTABE_name().
