Dedupe rules for different contact types should be able to have the same name

Individual dedupe rules can't be used for organizations, and vice versa. So why can't they have the same names? I tried to create a rule in both categories, "By CiviCRM ID", and the second one was rejected because it shared a name with an existing rule. Is this an overzealous validation check, or actually something about the data structure?

It's a small problem because it means we have to give rules that do exactly the same thing different names, which complicates internal staff documentation and causes confusion.
