Identifying WPF BackStack Entries

Frame.BackStack is a useful property in WPF applications: it's an IEnumerable for a frame's navigation history. In my experience, these back entries tend to be JournalEntry instances. JournalEntry.Name can help you find what Page is represented by the JournalEntry, but it is a little tricky to use in practice. Name can be one of four things:

1. The attached Name attribute.
2. Title.
3. WindowTitle and the uniform resource identifier (URI) for the current page
4. The uniform resource identifier (URI) for the current page.

If you set x:Name for a page, the corresponding JournalEntry.Name will be that x:Name. Doing this allows you to (somewhat) reliably identify the JournalEntry's page.
