For the same reason why you can't set the name of [delwrite~]: it's the 
object owning the buffer. In theory, it would be possible to bind the 
object to another name, but why would you want to do that? Also, you 
would have to notify *all* existing [delread~] objects, so they have a 
chance to update the delay line (if needed).

Generally, resources have a fixed name and you only dynamically set the 
name in accessor objects. For example, you would set the array in [array 
set] and [array get], but you wouldn't change the name of the [array 
define] *).

*) Actuallly, it's possible with the "rename" method, but it's *very* 
confusing.
