passing the name makes it cleaner, but we could also add a default value (`THIS_ARRAY`?).","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,801728730

I think I would prefer option 3a (always use the passed name, even if the `DataArray` already had a name).","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,801728730

However, it might be important to be able to reference the data variable by name, which leaves us two choices: move `_THIS_ARRAY` to the public namespace or rename to a string.
