In the cases where we want/need a shared scoreboard, I would prefer for the parent to
derive a safe name and tell the child the name. I see no goodness in complicating the
config with a directive that does not provide a distinct benefit to the user. IMHO, the
name of the shared segment (and the process for deriving the name) is best kept under
the
covers.
