[html-formfu] Repeatable prepends nested_name to element names

Why does my nested_name get added to the beginning of every field
created by my repeatable element? The documentation doesn't mention
that. I'll give more code than I think I need to in case it is
something I am doing.
This part of my edit.yml file:
id: form
auto_id: %n
(further down)
- type: Repeatable
nested_name: codename
increment_field_names: 1
attributes:
class: repeating
model_config:
delete_if_true: deletion_marker
new_empty_row_multi: name
element:
- type: Block
tag: TR
attributes:
align: center
element:
- type: Block
tag: TD
element:
- type: Hidden
name: codename_id
- type: Text
name: name
constraints:
- type: Length
min: 4
message: Must be at least 4 characters long.
- type: Block
tag: TD
element:
- type: Checkbox
name: deletion_marker
- type: Hidden
name: count
constraints:
- type: Range
max: 3
Gives these results.
<div class="repeating">
<TR align="center">
<TD>
<input name="codename.codename_id_1" type="hidden" value="3" id="codename.codename_id_1" />
<div class="text">
<input name="codename.name_1" type="text" value="Piglet" id="codename.name_1" />
</div>
</TD>
<TD>
<div class="checkbox">
<input name="codename.deletion_marker_1" type="checkbox" value="1" id="codename.deletion_marker_1" />
</div>
</TD>
</TR>
</div>
<div class="repeating">
<TR align="center">
<TD>
<input name="codename.codename_id_2" type="hidden" value="5" id="codename.codename_id_2" />
<div class="text">
<input name="codename.name_2" type="text" value="Dreamweaver" id="codename.name_2" />
</div>
</TD>
<TD>
<div class="checkbox">
<input name="codename.deletion_marker_2" type="checkbox" value="1" id="codename.deletion_marker_2" />
</div>
</TD>
</TR>
</div>
Why is there the "codename." before everything? If I remove the auto_id:
%n or change it to %r, it doesn't seem to affect anything. Am I supposed
to set %n myself?
I suspect that it is what is messing up my has_many writes because my
many-to-many works.
