You should not do this in that way IMO... You never know where it was used
before...

It's the only way to change task name in AmigaOS... Authors forgot about
adding functions like SetTaskAttrsA() and GetTaskAttr()...
Well, basically they would do extactly the same thing( those hacks) So what
is the point of these functions other than to simplify things to the user.
