$ent->uniquename() |
Returns the uniquename of the entity. This name is not suitable for use by an end user. Rather, it is a means of identifying an entity uniquely in multiple databases, perhaps as the source code changes slightly over time. The uniquename is composed of things like arguments and parent names. So, some code changes will result in new uniquenames for the same intrinsic entity.
Use $db->lookup_uniquename() to convert a uniquename back to an object of the Understand::Ent class.
