Not explicitly; IMO it's implicit in all the other names we have.
My objection to "env" is not that it's inaccurate but that it's
meaningless. ''Everything'' can be construed as an environment,
potentially. A policy could be a policy_env_t; a connection could be a
connection_env_t; a circuit could be a circuit_env_t; etc.
It's the same argument for why you should name your objects things like
circuit_t rather than circuit_object_t.
