Actually, it was pretty much for this exact purpose -- i.e. it was the idea
of a virtual environment.  Ian just implemented it first, with some
different ideas about configuration and activation.  Since this is basically
the replacement for that, I don't have any objection to using the term here.
 (In my vision, "nest" was also the name of a package management tool for
creating such nests and manipulating their contents, though.)
