Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

In current implementation of tk.OptionMenu and ttk.OptionMenu, we can not specify name to them since adding additional kwargs raises unknown option error

Since after initialization of widget name cannot be changed, hence we cannot specify custom name such as games_option_menu etc to the OptionMenu.

Ability to specify name to a widget is very handy, since it helps programmer to easily gain access to widget between diffrent scopes and this ability is lacking in OptionMenu widget.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
