Well … I don't care whether it's named [Peer-foo] or [Peer_bar] or [Peer
baz], though the third option is most appealing IMHO.
I do however care a lot about not having multiple [Peer] sections in the
config file. Automated tools like Ansible cannot deal with
identically-tagged sections. This makes auto-updating my wireguard
configuration unnecessarily difficult.
Thus, if "wg showconf" is intended to output something that can be
reused, then the kernel needs to know about the peer's name.
