[keycloak-dev] immutable ClaimType name?

[Bill Burke]

Actually I'll take some of that back... at Id won't be a name.  I'll 
generate an ID so that different realms can have different claim types 
of the same name but different characteristics.  Protocol claim mappings 
and user claim value storage will still reference the claim type by name 
and the claim type name will be immutable.
