+1 for "Janus". I actually quite like that name.

"In Roman mythology, Janus (or Ianus) was the god of gates, doors,
doorways, beginnings and endings." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janus

But yeah, it *looks* like an unfortunate name, even if the evocation of
a new beginning (E4) is a nice one. We could go w/ Janus, the alt
spelling...
