I think Joy used the term "sidebar" for the launcher.

Hmm, why would anyone want to hide the unity-panel and use the ability 
to always look at the indicators (what time is it, do I have email etc...)?
And how would multiple panels / launchers be helpful?
I can't see a point of multiple panels, multiple launchers is much more 
interesting, but having a lot of launchers can create clutters and will 
increase the mouse movement.
