public interface FormFieldWithNameHistory

Interface for form fields where the original field name still matters even once it has been changed.

Example:
With
<input name="foo"/>
following script will work
theForm.foo.name = 'newName';
theForm.foo.value = 'some value';
Depending on the simulated browser the form field is reachable only through its original name or through all the names it has had.
