It says nothing about the package and does not uniquely identify 
it:

  bundlerApp {
    pname = "t";
    [...]

    meta = with lib; {
      description = "A command-line power tool for Twitter";
      homepage    = "http://sferik.github.io/t/";
      [...]
    };
  }

It's “t”!  It's “CLI”!  It's... a totally different package[0]!

Please: t-todo-manager (t-todo-whatever, I don't care) or 
$something_a_mainstream_distro_uses, but not yet another 
bikeshedded unique name, fun as they are to do.

Kind regards,

T G-R
