6 That's fine. There is no binary, orc.

11 Tab-completing orc- will only have one executable not related to
12 openrc. If you tab-complete "open" (which is already longer to type)
13 on most systems, you get a lot more. So you'd have to tab-complete
14 openrc. That's a lot longer than orc-.
15
16 Also, I would just tab-complete orc. orcc is obviously a compiler.
17 Most people have rcc (also obviously a compiler) on their system, so
18 we have that "issue" now as well.

20 So to sum up: I still think it's fine to call it orc. But honestly,
21 there are no catastrophic candidates. Any further discussion is mostly
22 just bikeshedding. Let's just nominate some candidates and vote. :-)
