I think our naming rules are reasonable.  Interpreted language
*libraries* are typically prefixed by the interpreter name,
e.g. 'python-markdown', although the upstream name is 'Markdown', which
would make for a confusing package name if it was kept that way.

So our users are used to expect for example Guile libraries to be
prefixed by 'guile-'; it also makes searching by name a bit more
convenient.

Since g-golf is a Guile library, our established convention is to name
it 'guile-g-golf'.  If it had been command instead of a Guile library,
'g-golf' would have been used instead.
