`name` of a Parameterized instance overridden when is the default of a `readonly/constant` Parameter about param

[jbednar]

Did I already say I'd like name to be removed from Param?

That's a different issue. Maybe Parameterized can be renamed to ParamObject and its name handling code moved into a new subclass now named Parameterized. That way downstream libraries can choose whether or not they wish their objects to have names, (e.g. from param import ParamObject as Parameterized) making it easier to retain backwards compatibility while removing the special name handling in practice. Feel free to file a separate issue and/or PR!

Meanwhile, for this specific issue, I do agree the behavior is both surprising and wrong. The proposed fix seems better, but my brain starts to overheat if I try to think of whether it truly addresses the issue. I'd ask another Param developer like @philippjfr .

Agreed, although not 100% aligned on the naming.
