Aura does not trigger on player name, does trigger on unitID like raid3

Admittedly no, but confirmed bug by others in WA discord

2.9.1
Was it working in a previous version? If yes, which was the last good one?

Asked for help on WA Discord where moderator asakawa was able to confirm this issue existing and said the following;
"I confirmed what you're seeing. Had a quick look at the code. Poked a dev who pointed out that the tooltip on Specific Unit is actually different from on the Legacy Aura Trigger and doesn't say that I does handle it. Pretty sneaky!"
If you do not know which aura is causing issues for you, please attach a ZIP archive of your WeakAuras SavedVariables file.
In case you do know which aura is problematic, please export the string and paste it below.

Just to be clear, this is group member names not working as "Specific Unit" in BuffTrigger2 (as it does in legacy).
It's effectively "working as intended", since Bufftrigger2 doesn't promise to be able to handle it, but I encouraged the ticket as it's maybe something you want to keep on the list for future, even if it's not something you feel the need to fix immediately.
The tooltip turned out to be incorrect, but that aside. I currently have no plans to support names in the new aura system. Supporting that isn't impossible, but doesn't really fit into how the system works.
