Description
When I `spindle srun`, Slurm accounting captures two steps: `spindle_be` and `spindle_bootstrap` instead of the normal single entry that has the executable name. It would be nice if Spindle could use the `-J` option to the srun launcher to set the executable name as the job name.

Research direction
Start by tracing how `spindle srun` launches Slurm steps and where the `srun` launcher options are assembled. Check how `spindle_be` and `spindle_bootstrap` are named, then verify that using `-J` produces one accounting entry with the executable name.
