Multiline statictext names

The editor automatically splits multiline statictext into multiple statictext's inside a group, something like:

var staticTextOneTwo = grpMain.add("group"); 
    staticTextOneTwo.add("statictext", undefined, "One line", {name: "staticTextOneTwo"}); 
    staticTextOneTwo.add("statictext", undefined, "followed by another", {name: "staticTextOneTwo"}); 

However

• the group isn't named
• the individual statictext's have the same name

This makes it very inconvenient to access the auto-generated group and sub-elements. You really want to access the group as control.grpMain.staticTextOneTwo. I find myself manually creating a group of single-line statictext's to work around this.

It would be great if the editor emitted:

var staticTextOneTwo = grpMain.add("group", undefined, {name: "staticTextOneTwo"}); 
    staticTextOneTwo.add("statictext", undefined, "One line", {name: "statictext1"}); 
    staticTextOneTwo.add("statictext", undefined, "followed by another", {name: "statictext2"}); 

Though really, it might be cleaner to not emit names at all for the single-line statictexts since it makes more sense to access them as ...staticTextOneTwo.children[0, 1, ...]. How about it?

Now on export the multiline staticText item's parent group gets the item name and the child text items are unnamed.

I'm not sure if it would get a lot of use but I also added a helper function for fetching the text itemName.getText().

Beautiful! Thank you.
