Why uid? Will it be possible to club processes belonging to different
users to same bean counter.
oh, its a misname. Should be ub_id. it is ID of user_beancounter
and has nothing to do with user id.
But it uses a uid_t. That's more than a misnaming?
It used to be uid-related in ancient times when the notion of container
hadn't formed up.
"user" part of user_beancounter name has the same origin :)
Is it similarly irrelevant now? If so perhaps a big rename could be used
to make the names clearer (s/user_//, s/ub_/bc_/, ...).
