What's wrong with select-frame-by-name?

As someone who uses frames a lot on a tty, I agree. Usually, each
my frame is set to do some specific set of related activities. For
example, I'd typically have a frame for reading mail, another one for
whatever current programming project I'm busy with, yet another for
reading Info manuals, etc. The names of the frames would be set
accordingly: "Mail", "Prog", "Docs", etc. select-frame-by-name comes
very handy to switch between frames with mnemonic frame names.
