Both Gamma Corvi and Epsilon Cygni are called 'Gienah' in our star
catalogs. This is actually correct, but Wikipedia suggests that we
call Gamma Corvi as 'Gienah Corvi' or 'Gienah Ghurab' to distinguish
between the two:

This will fix issues that the Find Dialog, or the Auxiliary info (User
Log, Links etc) have with the duplicate name.

Shall I go ahead and rename Gamma Corvi to 'Gienah Corvi'?
