Peter, In the past, I have seen software that uses part of the "name" as a constant prefix and then places variable information in the later part of the name (maybe ASID, TCB or subsystem "instance" or whatever the developer wanted) - I imagine this can happen when the "token" part is already full. In this case the ability to list the name/tokens for search purposes would be desirable.
