What's the use case?
I understand the utility of giving unique numbers to the audit code,
but I don't think this part is necessary for that, and I'd like to
understand what else will use this before committing to a duplicative
API like this.
Note that this API is thoroughly incompatible with CRIU. If we do
this, someone will ask for a namespace number namespace, and that way
lies madness.
