This was my initial thought when discussing the problem with Hongbin last
night.

We have three main "swift" resources in OSC -- "object store account",
"container" and "object". I think renaming "container" to "object store
container" is totally acceptable. The issue of deprecation comes into play,
we'll need to deprecate it and give it at least one cycle. Luckily, the zun
team isn't ready to publish a CLI just yet.

Alternatively, I don't mind "appcontainer".
