Summary	0003855: Named fields, and generally easier catalogue field relationship dereferencing
Description	Add ability to give each field its own name. These names would be guaranteed globally-unique (i.e. if you used them for more than one field the system would give an error). You would not be able to enter a combination of only digits and underscores as the field names, to avoid ambiguity with IDs. These field names would influence the parameter names in Tempcode, so instead of... {FIELD_3} You might have... {FIELD_TITLE} An algorithm would map the names to valid Tempcode names. It would be cool to give a list of Tempcode field names as a 'preview action' when adding/editing a catalogue. The field names would also be usable for any Tempcode symbols that currently take a field ID. It would also be cool if the catalogue preview action gave you sample Tempcode for dereferencing any forward or backreference relationships that exist for your catalogue.
