Perhaps what we need is a schema for logical name tables so that
only expected logical names can appear in a table. :-)

On a more serious note, does anyone else wish you could attach a comment
to a logical name definition so that you could see in SHOW LOGICAL
what the purpose of a logical is ?

The comment could also include the valid values as well if the logical
is used for configuration.
