Can they be searched other than in Column use?  
Can you reuse the name in different sequences?  
Is their any point to make them unique names or a standard pattern for naming?  
Will they be re-usable in the future and stored in a library of some sort?

This is the plan. Not shipping anytime soon, but I’ve heard that Glide is looking to do this too n the near future.

I give them a useful name so I know what they do without having to open them.

Not at the moment. But if you have a name that says clearly what the action does, it is easier to understand the flow of the app.
