OK, I see. What I would suggest is a mechanism with a new name. One thing I
will point out is that the kernel prefers to work off of integers instead of
strings. Strings are for people, numbers are for the computer. (E.g. root vs
0.) So, I would consider calling this something else and using integers so
that comparisons are faster.
