Its formatting "name|bar/mumble" is too confusing, especially for newbies that might have a hard time understanding what does this `|' mean that usually indicates the logical `or' operator. OTOH, `post-forward-angle-brackets' with "name" is backward-compatible with the naming standard "name<2>" so it doesn't break customizations in display-buffer-alist that contains such regexps as "\\*Buffer\\*<[^>]+>".
