How is this going?

Whats the current way the difference in constructor parameters will be dealt with??

in sysv_ipc.Sempahore it takes a key where key:

key must be None, IPC_PRIVATE or an integer > KEY_MIN and ≤ KEY_MAX. If the key is None, the module chooses a random unused key.

vs posix_ipc.Sempahore where it takes a name, was the plan to hash the previous name into the range of KEY_MIN and KEY_MAX and hope for the best (aka no collisions)?
