Renaming the package to a name that visibly fits what the package does would be a cleanup that would make its meaning more obvious to everyone. Could we start renaming packages to meaningful, clear names when we add them to Emacs or GNU ELPA? We used to keep names short for MSDOS, but that isn't necessary any more. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
