Cassandra RackInferringSnitch datacenter name

The rack inferring snitch uses the 2nd octet as the datacenter, and the third as the rack. When using NetworkTopologyStrategy for replication, do people actually use a number as the datacenter name? e.g. if an ip is 10.222.200.54, would a table creation look like this:

create table blah (id int primary key, foo text) 
with replication={'class': 'NetworkTopologyStrategy', '222':3 }

Is this common? Or is there a way to alias the '222' component? Or is the RackInferringSnitch not really used? Should we stick to gossipping property file snitch?

I think this snitch is meant as an example of how to write a custom snitch. I don't think it's intended to be used in production.
