[vtkusers] Extract block from Multi-block data by name?

[Evan Kao]

Is there a way to get the name of a block when iterating (with ExtractBlock
I assume)?  It wasn't clear to me in the documentation what method or
sequence of methods I could use to get the name of the data itself.

Thanks,
Evan Kao
