/*!
 * \brief A system object name class
 *
 * In order to identify a system-wide object such as a shared memory segment or a named synchronization primitive the object has to be given a name.
 * The format of the name is specific to the operating system and the \c object_name class provides an abstraction for names of objects. It also
 * provides means for scoping, which allows to avoid name clashes between different processes.
 *
 * The object name is a UTF-8 encoded string. The portable object name should consist of the following characters:
 *
 * <pre>
 * A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
 * a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
 * 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 . _ -
 * </pre>
 *
 * \note The character set corresponds to the POSIX Portable Filename Character Set (http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap03.html#tag_03_278).
 *
 * Use of other characters may result in non-portable system-specific behavior.
 *
 * The name can have one of the following scopes:
 *
 * \li \c global - objects within this scope are visible to any process on the system. In order to use this scope the process may need to have
 *                 extended privileges. This scope is not available for Windows Store applications.
 * \li \c user - objects within this scope can be opened by processes running under the same user as the current process.
 * \li \c session - objects within this scope are visible to processes within the session of the current process. The definition of a session may vary between
 *                  operating systems. On POSIX, a session is typically a group of processes attached to a single virtual terminal device. On Windows a session is
 *                  started when a user logs into the system. There is also a separate session for Windows services.
 * \li \c process_group - objects within this scope are visible to processes within the process group of the current process. Currently, on Windows all processes
 *                        running in the current session are considered members of the same process group. This may change in future.
 *
 * The scopes are not overlapping. For instance, if an object is created in the global scope, the object cannot be opened with the same name but in user's scope.
 *
 * Note that name scoping is not a security feature. On some systems any process on the system has technical capability to open objects within any scope.
 * The scope is only used to help avoid name clashes between processes using \c object_name to identify objects.
