[CF-metadata] Request for a region standard_name

Dear Jim

> I have a need for a region standard_name of "conus". This is for the contiguous United States. I don't see any other way to specify this region. Can we add this please?

I think it would be fine to give it a standardised region name to add to the
list in
http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-standard-names/standardized-region-names
but could it avoid abbreviation in order to me more self-explanatory e.g.
contiguous_united_states[_of_america]? "conus" is not an acronym that I've ever
seen before although I expect it is familiar to inhabitants of conus.

Best wishes

Jonathan
