[Bf-python] NMesh.Get() Missing?

[Campbell J Barton]

For my purposes All I need is an ibject method.

We have-
obj.getData()
obj.getType()

A usefull function would be

obj.getDataName()

Since this would work for all data types and then this would be usefull 
in many situateion- Notjust for meshs. And also, it sidesteps the issue 
of there being an inconsistancy where NMesh.Get() returning names would 
be unlike Image.Get - Etc.

nmeshNames = []
for obj in Object.GetSelected():
    if obj.getType() == "Mesh":
       name = obj.getDataName()
       if name not in nmeshNames:
          nmeshNames.append(name)

Its still not so nice since it dosent give a list of nmesh names buyt I 
think its better then having to expose the data of many objects when all 
you need is the name.
