But if so, then it should not be taken as "program name"
by the programmer, as it would merely represent whatever
the user had chosen to call the program, suitable only
for displaying back to the user. It could _not_ be used
to determine whether this unit was currently linked into
the toaster-pop program or the missile-launch program
(same general concept, but on differing scale and requiring
different levels of authentication - we hope).
