Ouch, non-unique names are not good of course :/ And, as the examples
above show, simply including the ``entity id string'' doesn't do the
trick either :/

I'll add your suggestion, but probably arrange the names the other way
around, i. e. that they look something like this:
  power_supply-Temp-10.2
  power_supply-Temp-10.1
  processor-Temp-3.2
  processor-Temp-3.1
This makes it easier to see related values when sorting alphabetically..
