Then I strongly vote for adding an optional Displayname= or something
like that to the configuration files. I think it is not wise to
identify internal module identifier and screen display name -- these
are two distinct concepts. (All the old modules don't have to be
changed (except for those with ~) because we can use the identifier if
the Displayname is not present.)

Especially when you consider that for some modules, people might like
to use UTF-8 names. I'd prefer to call a German dictionary
"Wörterbuch", instead of having the APIs force me to use the clumsy
"Woerterbuch".
