Then lets not. :-) You can try really hard to get me to care what the packages get called. It just won't work. Propose a set of names you think will work. Call them "Monique" and "Heather" and "Ivette" if you like. (That ought to keep things interesting! :-) What matters is that there be some general agreement on what features will be there. If we end up in agreement about general features, maybe we can identify an existing set of utilities that already cover this and we can live with whatever names they already have. If it ends up that they've got to be written from the ground up, then we can argue about the names then. (Get your suggestions in early and maybe they win by default. :-) My only concern with any names is that we have some ability to separate out branches that satisfy different categories of tools. One ought to be able to have some level of sublibraries under a general library of add-on tools. Things like "These over here are ADT/Container/Vessel thingies and these things over here are Math doodads and that stuff over there is a whole bunch of OS interface thingamajigs." We ought to be able to expand the library to cover things besides containers. What that may be is TBD for the moment, but lets not make that difficult.
