But if it contains the table name, you still have the problem we'd
like to avoid: renaming the file(s) is a critical part of committing
a table-renaming transaction.
The debugging and administrative convenience of using table names as
filenames is exactly why we've resisted this for so long. But I am
starting to think that we have to give that up. It's nice, but
having robust DDL commands is nicer.
