Bringing up /proper names/ from the real world agrees with my idea
though! :-)
As a person, you have a list of "proper names" that you answer to and
that you prefer. However, in some cases you will also answer to "Hey,
you over there!" or "Someone who left a white Honda in the parking lot,
please turn your lights off."
So a file could have a list of proper names, but it can also be referred
to in any other way and by any other name. Proper names would be
preferred, though.
