Those are all phrases in disguise. Even "hl" is really two things.
One could have come up with a short phrase instead of Eglot, say
"emacs-very-bueno" or sth like that. That would probably be more intuitive.
But also probably silly, and easy to miss the target.
None of this makes any difference to the fact that Eglot is the best
name for referring to exactly what Eglot is.
