Allow levers to be "nicknamed", and then have the lever's name display as something like 'Shale Lever "opens nw floodgate"', instead of 'Shale Lever'. This would help alleviate "woops, I didn't mean to open the magma floodgate" issues, and (I assume) wouldn't require much new code to implement.

Similar naming capabilities for all constructions would be helpful as well.

Edit: apparently I'm not the first one to think of this...

Nope, you're number 496th.  Toady has also already implemented it.

Recently? I thought he added notes to the world map in Adventurer mode, which isn't quite the same thing.

Not the world map, and not adventure mode. The fortress, in fortress mode. You go into a notes mode and you can make and see notes. Then you can make a note on every one of your levers telling you what it does.

Well a note on the page, is not the same thing as assigning a name to the actual object.

It would seem to me it should be very simple to just assign a unique id# appended to the name of any object that is to used for linking or referenced by another object, as the default, with the option for the user to change the name.

I'm kind of amazed that it isn't already designed that way

Hey, it's not Mike's fault!
