Rhino is a Javascript engine written in Java. The name doesn't mention
either Javascript or the language it's written in. Likewise
Spidermonkey, a Javascript engine written in C/C++.
So there's good precedent for just calling it $animal.
I like pilot whales and puffins, so I recommend naming it after one of
those.
