Add APFS volume name recognition/display to caja side panel

Recently installed dolphin from KDE and noted that it displays named APFS volumes, instead of caja's generic nomenclature ( for example: 50 GB Volume) .

Since actually being able read or write to APFS volumes would require kernel or module support I am not asking for this feature within caja (github has such read/write modules), only for caja to display APFS volume names in the left panel, as does dolphin.

I don't normally use dolphin and don't want all of the additional overhead just for this feature, but since it has apparently been implemented in dolphin file manager by the KDE devs, and if the code is open source could dev team for caja migrate over to caja?

Thank you for all of the improvements in mate and special thanks for considering this feature request.
