Summary:
An MSMessage displayed by iMessage will translate a participant identifier UUID string into a user same when inserted as
"$\(uuidString)"
into one of the MSMessage.layout text fields.

A similar capability would be very helpful inside the MSMessagesAppViewController view hierarchy for UILabels.

A option to display initials instead would also help.

Steps to Reproduce:
Create a UILabel inside the MSMessagesAppViewController view hierarchy with text "$\(uuidString)".

Expected Results:
The UILabel displays the appropriate user's name.

Actual Results:
The UILabel displays a UUID.
