Description

Until OCL 1.1.2 VariableExp#getName() always returns the name of the referred variable. In 1.2.0 this is changed to always returning null.\ It makes sense that the expression itself doesn't have a name - only the referred variable has, but this change breaks compatibility to previous releases and it's confusing that there is a public method which does nothing but return null.

To fix this, you could handle the name-attribute as derived and just delegate VariableExp#getName() to VariableExp#getReferredVariable().getName().
