When using interactive mode it is possible to specify an empty partition name for the mkpart command.   However, when using the --script option an error occurs because it doesn't handle an empty name.

This results in an error:
		sudo parted --script /dev/xvdf mklabel gpt mkpart '' 'ext2' '0%' '100%' print all


This works, but you have to specify a name:
		sudo parted --script /dev/xvdf mklabel gpt mkpart MyPartName 'ext2' '0%' '100%' print all


Ideally I could just specify:
		sudo parted --script /dev/xvdf mklabel gpt mkpart 'ext2' '0%' '100%' print all
and parted would parse the parameters correctly but requiring a  '-'  or '--'  (or whatever)  would work too.
