Hi, this looks very interesting, but I worry about future name conflicts with the following scenario: - More than one project is likely to be intested for taking /usr/bin/ben as a program name. - Since Debian's ben is Debian-specific, it will not be noticed by projects aiming at a wider audience. - If such a project comes to existence and becomes popular, we will have another name conflict à la node.js. An alterative scenario is that another project of narrow audience picks ben, which will cause a conflict of lesser importance as it will be solved on the usual first-arrived-first-served basis. But the key point is that if we do not aim at hundred thousands users for a tool, I think that we should avoid three-letter names.
