good question. I suspect that nobody but developers really use this
option, so I'm not sure it's all that important. I wouldn't try to
complicate the documentation by listing obsolete names for things like
this. We could also just leave it as SPICE_WORKER_RECORD_FILENAME I
suppose, even though it's no longer strictly accurate. It's not the
most important thing int he world...

Yes, of course, that makes much more sense.
