I bet we can make an interface which lets the snap own an explicit bus
name, yes.

I don't think we yet have parameterized interfaces, but perhaps the bus
name could be forced to be the same as the snap name in the first cut
(and later we add the ability to specify a particular bus name).

I would make this a separate, orthogonal interface to unity7 so it can
be used more widely than just Unity.
