Maybe include all per-ns ID in a separate file?  Then the old 'status'
file includes IDs from the current namespace only, the new file (e.g.
'ids' or 'ns_ids') contains only hierarchical IDs which differ from
namespace to namespace for all possible namespaces.  It will be simplier
to parse the file -- if 'ns_ids' file contains some ID then this ID for
every ns can be obtained regardless of the specific ID name (SID, PID,
PGID, etc.).
