This would be very useful for systems such as Ra (https://github.com/rabbitmq/ra) where Ra servers running on different nodes need a persistent addressable identity to be reachable without further synchronisation (such as replicating a name to pid lookup table). Ra allows you to dynamically create clusters of processes and currently need to create atoms dynamically to do so.
