label 
The label component.
This component is used to manage labels applied by the hand labeler.
Atoms can only have one instance of this component, and therefore only one label at a time. This is to avoid having names like "Backpack (label1) (label2) (label3)". This is annoying and abnoxious to read.
When a player clicks the atom with a hand labeler to apply a label, this component gets applied to it. If the labeler is off, the component will be removed from it, and the label will be removed from its name.
