Feature: Convenience method to get a shape by its name #798

I find it very unpleasant in complex, living documents to work with the idx of a shape, because it always requires a map of idx to the shape. The signature of the proposed _BaseShape.get_by_name is equal to the one of the method for layouts.

Closes #309.
