Description

As discussed at the Hamburg Oakathon [1], we want to add support for auto generating node names to Oak instead of full fledged support for same name siblings: set node.type.management.same.name.siblings.supported to false. Define a marker mixin which can be used to mark nodes which support auto creating names for child nodes on collision. If on addNode(String) a node with the given name already exists, auto create an unique name and add the marker mixin.

Open jsr/tck issue if necessary.

Implementation as plugin/commit hook. Potentially implement the new JSR-333 interfaces for server-named nodes using an extension interface.
