I picked ApplicationContext because it seemed to be used elsewhere as 
well.  C.f.:

<http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.0.M3/spring-framework-reference/html/ch04s10.html>

You might want to compare that and a few other frameworks for ideas how 
they treat an application context.  The important thing I think is to 
have some structure to it, not just turn it into a dumping ground for 
any global variable that you happen to need.
