Is there an appropriate word for what you want to do or are you still
looking for one?

When starting working on RubyVM I kind of felt the same (VM not
describing it appropriately) but I couldn't find a better one (MetaRuby to
me is more related to the reflection capabilities of the language, as in
some of the papers on Smalltalk's reflective capabilities).

PS. Please note that I'm not implying that we want to do the same thing or
that "they" should be named the same way. Just interested in your thoughts
on naming.
