Ok, so that's why it cannot be used as a setter.

Would you please consider implementing this my_name() as internal_name() 
of HTML::FormFu::Constraint::Callback, or replacing name() so that it can 
also be set? I presume others would find it useful too, at least Ronald J 
Kimball agreed on the list that being able to specify a name for the 
constraint would be good.
