The Accellera implementation statically allocates the buffer it uses to
build the unique names and only allocates the name generator if it's
going to be used for a particular module. I assume that's to avoid
allocating a large buffer if it's not going to be used.
In this implementation, I use an std::string which manages its own
memory and so shouldn't need to be selectively allocated. I also use a
string stream to construct the name instead of sprintf.
