Our algorithm for computing step names for anonymous steps doesn't work. If you import two anonymous pipelines, they both have the same anonymous name "!1". No doubt there are other ways to run afoul of the fact that the naming is only unique in the context of a single document. We could say this doesn't matter, since the anonymous names can't be used in any pipeline, but that seems like cheating. Also, it means that the step name used in an error message might be ambiguous. I suspect the cost effective answer is to punt and make the names of anonymous steps implementation-defined.
