I agree, and for that reason I would prefer no separator, or a space.
That's what we do with other processes, and I think it's fine.
It's worth thinking too about the fact that we may want to rename
functions, adjust comments, etc. Each of those things has their own
conventions. For example consider StartupProcessMain(). If we decide
to call this the WAL replay process, I suppose that is going to become
WALReplayMain(). For sure it's not going to be come WAL-Replay-Main().
But what displays in the 'ps' status should look like what we do in
other cases.
