Manually set a pattern provider's name to a machine/block

Describe the feature

When using a knife on a pattern provider to rename it, I want to be able to set the name and the icon of the pattern provider (as displayed in the pattern access terminal) to that of a machine/block.

Reasons why it should be considered

In some cases it is not possible or not practical to attach a pattern provider directly to a machine. In these cases, the provider appears in the access terminal as a generic pattern provider. I can rename it with a knife but that doesn't change the icon. I'd like a way to set the icon and name to that of a machine. I am not asking to set the name and the icon independently, I'd be perfectly happy if it was either custom name + generic icon, or the name and icon of a machine block. I'd also be content if I had to manually set the name and icon.

Additional details

I created a crafting setup for imbuing Ars essences that is capable of supporting all the different imbuements (except creating source gems) with a simple crafter. Due to the nature of pattern providers and imbuement this is not possible with the pattern provider adjacent to the imbuement chamber so AFAIK it is not possible for the pattern provider to be 'correctly' labeled without this feature.

Then should I close this and open it on https://github.com/GlodBlock/ExtendedAE instead?

The quartz knife renaming feature is, oddly, an extendedAE feature
