Option to Disable Contact Type Label

I was looking at the code and found that the function that sets the display label for contact types is in a protected function and the hook_redhen_contact_name_alter doesn't do much to help me in changing the mark-up for display. It gets set here in redhen_contact.entity.inc:

  /**
   * Specifies the default label, which is picked up by label() by default.
   */
  protected function defaultLabel() {
    $type = redhen_contact_get_types($this->type);
    $wrapper = entity_metadata_wrapper('redhen_contact', $this);
    $name = $wrapper->full_name->value();
    return $name . ' (' . $type->label . ')';
  }

Seems like a simple setting we can include in the RedHen UI, no? I have seen posts about this issue before and I personally have a project where this is applicable.
