My enhancement request for this is about Automatic names based on slide titles
or other content. The aim was to not needing to rename slides for most cases
when default names work. (The cases that would need the rename are slides with
obscure content, and the title text cannot be used for some reasons related to
the presenter.)

The issue I saw is that the usage of these names are obscure (not clearly
documented), and I almost did trial and error to figure out where they have
been used.

For now I found two usage of the slide names:
1. As bookmark names when exported to PDF.
2. As "Target in Document" of hyperlinks or objects with Interaction (upon
mouse-click).

The uniqueness requirement is justified for both uses of the names, but for
most presenters (users), trying to pick unique names for slides and make them
working for both usages is a boring task. Therefore it's better to give good
automatic names and free the users from doing the task in the first place -
this is what my report is about.

The Slide 1..Slide n you-called-standard naming have problems:

1. It's not descriptive for bookmark names (bug 118135), at least for people
navigating the document.
2. It's dependent on viewer's LibreOffice locale, rather then the document's
perceived language.

With the slide names based on slides' own title (plus suffixes " (2)", " (3)"
etc. if needed), both problems can be avoided most of the time.
