 * Determine if the Names of two `message` instances are equal.
 *
 * The following equivalence relations on non-null `message` instances are
 * maintained:
 *
 *  * It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x,
 * `hashTableFunction_MessageNameEquals(x, x)` must return true.
 *
 *  * It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y,
 *    `message_Equals(x, y)` must return true if and only if
 *        `hashTableFunction_MessageNameEquals(y, x)` returns true.
 *
 *  * It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if
 *        `hashTableFunction_MessageNameEquals(x, y)` returns true and
 *        `hashTableFunction_MessageNameEquals(y, z)` returns true,
 *        then  `hashTableFunction_MessageNameEquals(x, z)` must return true.
 *
 *  * It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple
 *      invocations of `hashTableFunction_MessageNameEquals(x, y)` consistently
 * return true or consistently return false.
 *
 *  * For any non-null reference value x,
 * `hashTableFunction_MessageNameEquals(x, NULL)` must return false.
 *
 * @param a A pointer to a `message` instance.
 * @param b A pointer to a `message` instance.
 * @return true if the names of the two `message` instances are equal.
