        This is a good point, and sort of what I was thinking: If it can
be found via search, who care's what it's called? It's sort of like domain
names - once upon a time people might have thought to remember the name
of a website, but now, who bothers? Just pop what you want in google...
        As long as the name isn't taken and it has some amount of logic, I
doubt the name of a module makes any practical difference any more. It seems
like the days of poring over proper module names should come to an end.

        *shrug* Just a thought.
