> When making a snapshot, the new directory is created with a timestamp and, optionally, a user-supplied tag. For the sake of automated snapshot-creating tools, it would be helpful to know unequivocally what the new snapshot directory was named (otherwise, the tool must search for a directory similar what it expects the name to be, which could be both error-prone and maybe susceptible to attack).
> Recommend making takeSnapshot and takeAllSnapshot return a string, which is the base component of the new snapshot's directory name.
