How about get_VclContainer, get_CheckBox, etc ?
It's a library class, so it's supposed to make the client code easier
to use, even at the cost of introducing some extra weight into itself.
And it's not like there are lots of different ways of extracting the
widgets, so the "by_name" is unnecessary IMNSHO :-)
