Adding contract name on contract property

[ghost]

Describe the Feature

It would be a great feature to distinguish contract objects ( Like getContractName() would be good, events and contract functions already have similar feature but why not contract? )

Code Example

BaseContract.getContractName()

The problem is a contract doesn’t know its name. It isn’t in the ABI, for example. I’ve brought up before the idea of adding struct and metadata fragments to the ABI, but there generally hasn’t been much interest…

@ricmoo Maybe I think we could inherit the name from the contractFactory then, otherwise showing it as a null

[ricmoo]

But a ContractFactory also doesn't know the name of the contract...

Moving this to "Ideas" to further discuss ways we might address this in the future, whether by a constructor argument/options or by adding ABI metadata fields. :)
