Program name not related to its pid file, you try to introduce unnecesarry
restriction.

If program not test pid file via flock(), it deserves ...  I.e. all
programs except gated and few others got what they want.  So, they require
modifications to check locking, so it is impossible to validate pid files
without applications modifications (as I already say in previous letter). 

Modification of each such application is not acceptable solution.
