WORLDEDIT-2209 - Reported by sk89q

Because items can have names now, WorldEdit can use that to discriminate between wands.

would cause a lot of problem
for example, what happens if the server crashes - the item is now permanently named
what if the item already has a name?

I think that wouldn't be a problem.
There should be only 2 options on how to get a wand.
"//wand" or on anvil crafting a pre-defined tool with pre-defined name in config
ex. Wooden Axe with the name "WorldEdit Wand".
Or any tool with the name "WorldEdit Wand" so we would only use enchant names perhaps could work too.

These would work between restarts, crashes etc.
It would work across restarts, crashes and regular wooden pickaxe wouldn't be used as WE wand, keeping it more Vanilla.

Also, unlike this suggestion "WORLDEDIT-2497" it wont only be helpful, but useful aswell.

I think implementing this will be massively confusing -- anyone with a wand in their inventory will suddenly find it non-functional (with no explanation), or we have to do permission checks on startup to find those with a potential wand in their inventory, every single time the server starts up. Also makes it impossible to keep around a normal wooden axe / compass / whatever it may be bound to, as it will be renamed.
