Comment #8 on issue 4290 by address@hidden: Patch: Make Grob::name accessible to Scheme
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4290

From #4:

"Hmm, I think what I will end up doing is rewriting the function to return a symbol. Grob::name takes a symbol, converts it into a string usable by C++, then ly:grob-name converts this string into a Scheme type. I'd hate to write another function which converts that Scheme string back into the symbol we started out with! It makes a lot of sense to simply return the symbol, and if someone really wants a string--and, come to think of it, I don't believe I ever have--use symbol->string."

The new patch returns a symbol instead of a string. I opted not to attempt a conversion of the C++ string returned by Grob::name back into the Scheme symbol we began with.

(By the way, a very circuitous route is used for ly:context-name.)
