Suggestion from Alistair Sellar...
In the docstring for cube.var_name, it should be described as a "netCDF variable name", not "CF variable name"

Perfect! You work so fast that you had answered my requirement before I even asked!

One small mistake in the documentation (I think):
http://scitools.org.uk/iris/docs/v1.2/iris/iris/cube.html#iris.cube.Cube.var_name
It says "The CF variable name for the Cube." and I think it should say "The NetCDF The CF variable name for the Cube.", as the variable name itself is not constrained by the CF conventions.

Thanks,
Alistair
