I understand.  That's what I meant by "where our API requires an
*identifier*".  I meant "identifier" in the precise sense ("textual tokens
(also called symbols) which name language entities", as per wikipedia), but
I can see that that could be easily misinterpreted if it is used more
casually.

I only mention this because there may be other times when I really do forget
something you already said, and don't want to use up my goodwill. ;)
