Ahhh... So the suggestion 'Minister' is already used (sorry - I can't
remember all the variants supported and all their pieces.  In case anyone
is wondering the Minister is the NWD piece in Joe Joyce's Great
Shatranj.)  So I'm inclined to go with Sage barring objections.

And, while we are at it, what about the Rook+Camel piece?  Charles Gilman
proposes the name 'Carpenter', but I do not like that name for exactly
the reasons Fergus once described (i.e., it makes me think of either Jesus
or The Carpenters.)  Any ideas?
