Use script to batch change all smart object layers to a new pattern

In trying to help someone in another thread I noticed that, at least if Patterns have unique names, it seems the names suffice for identification of a Pattern in a Script. 

Edit: 

// create pattern layer with last pattern;
// 2023, use it at your own risk;
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
try {
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID ("property"), stringIDToTypeID("presetManager") ); 
ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("capp"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
var applicationDesc = executeActionGet(ref);
var presetManager = applicationDesc.getList(stringIDToTypeID("presetManager"));
var patternNames = presetManager.getObjectValue(4).getList(stringIDToTypeID("name"));
var theNames = new Array;
for (m = 0; m < patternNames.count; m++) {
    theNames.push(patternNames.getString(m))
};
makePatternLayer (theNames[theNames.length-1], 100);
//brickFill (theNames[theNames.length-1], 0.1)
} catch (e) {};
};
////// make pattern layer //////
function makePatternLayer (thePatternName, theScale) {
