Description
Any chance we could get a apex.amp.named_master_params(optimizer)? The optimizer does not have access to the parameter names as far as I can tell, so I am not sure how to best implement this. However, analyzing the master parameters is pretty inconvenient without knowing what each parameter corresponds to.

Research direction
Start at the requested apex.amp.named_master_params(optimizer) entry point and trace how the optimizer exposes or stores master parameters. Determine how parameter names could remain associated with those parameters, then verify that the completed API lets users identify which model parameter each master parameter corresponds to; no specific files or tests are named.
