      The env var JOB_NAME, and its description in env-vars.html are confusing.

      In a simple project, the meaning and the description correspond, but in a matrix project, it is more complicated.

      If the main job's name is Foo, using a matrix with 2 parameters bar and baz, then JOB_NAME returns "Foo/bar=x,baz=y". This was the request JENKINS-1047.

      Is it possible to add another env var, like JOB_SHORT_NAME, or to be more coherent, use JOB_NAME to get the real name and JOB_IDENTIFIER for example to get the full description?

      Thanks
