When naming packages, choose a name that is:
- All lower-case. No capitals or underscores.
- Does not need to be renamed using named imports at most call sites.
- Short and succinct. Remember that the name is identified in full at every call site.
- Not plural. For example,
net/url, notnet/urls. - Not "common", "util", "shared", or "lib". These are bad, uninformative names.
