Canonical describe: no synthetic widget names; address grid columns explicitly (2.6b) #749

Description

@ako

Plan item 2.6 in the proposal (R12; §4 Pages).

Today layout-grid rows and columns and DataGrid 2 columns get invented names, such as row1, col3, or two columns both called Name. Those names churn when a column is inserted and make alter … on dg.Name ambiguous.

Scope:

  • Make the widget name optional in the grammar.
  • describe omits names Mendix does not store.
  • alter page addresses grid columns explicitly, e.g. on dg column(Name), and refuses duplicates.

Tracking: #714. Language rules: ADR-0010/0011/0012. Changes of meaning apply only under the mdl 1 header; old spellings stay as registered deprecated aliases, each with an fmt --upgrade rewrite (#742).
