Thanks for filling out the checklist. Could you please add a basic `doc.go` for the `apiserver/facades/client/application` package while you're in there?

Thanks @AbsintheScripting, and sorry for the delay merging.

Just to summarize my investigation from today on the `canonical/postgresql-operator` charm failure, ["Remote unit name invalid"](https://github.com/canonical/operator/actions/runs/3433841001/jobs/5724582821): * this check was introduced as a ValueError exception [here](https://github.com/canonical/operator/pull/795/files#diff-37e8d80748bba21bb08c982f17b7879059bacc8d413b59da998a896fca18be33R713) * then it was...

This is now complete with the release of `ops` [1.5.3](https://github.com/canonical/operator/releases/tag/1.5.3).

I think this is problematic to support given the defer/MethodType/"handle" concerns expressed above, and there's other ways to patch this (for example the "capture events" recipe Pietro posted) -- so...

@jnsgruk It seems to me libraries are the way to do this, agreed? Either small charm-lib libraries or larger PyPI libs (or even 3rd party libraries like John M mentioned...
