We just honor the manual's request here, which specifies this DIR
entry in viper.texi:

    @direntry
    * VIPER: (viper).       The newest Emacs VI-emulation mode.
			      (also, A VI Plan for Emacs Rescue
			       or the VI PERil.)
    @end direntry

So it sounds like VIPER is actually an acronym, or at least it used to
be.
