I meant the module's name.

Why couldn't that allow different rates on a per-controller basis?
Because you define a name for the rates it can be anything. Even, as
far as I understand the module Algorithm::FloodControl, the actual
value for the rate would then be available from within any controller
without using this controller as a base controller wherever I want to
access the rate limit. A rate limiting is not always bound to only
one controller; it depends on how you use the module.

Hm, I don't see why Plugin::Authorization falls under this but not
Controller::RateLimit.
