The short answer to that is that the internal representation of views
and other objects only stores object identities, not how they were named
in the input.  We don't store whitespace or layout choices either, and
there are various other ways that the output can vary from what you
typed.  So really, if you're intent on that, keeping the original source
file is the way to go.
