app name
Code-friendly name for the underlying app/config system

This refers to the canonical name for the underlying app/config
system. It does not refer to the overall app; contrast with
:term:`app title`.
This must usually be specified as part of the call to

handler` :attr:`~wuttjamaican.app.AppHandler.appname`.
In most cases (i.e. by default) this will simply be ``wutta``.
This value affects the naming conventions for config files as
well as setting names etc.
See also the human-friendly :term:`app title`.
The primary reason for this abstraction is so that the Rattail
Project could leverage the Wutta config logic without having to
rewrite all config files in the wild.
