Custom Fields Naming

Imported From: http://groups.google.com/group/in-portal-dev/browse_thread/thread/3fbe20ecaf108990#

Hello,

we still use a simple text field for naming custom fields, while this is a
special field which should not contain spaces or special chars. Do you plan
to change this, or is there a way to call the custom field ID instead of its
name?
