Also, if we're putting it up on github, we may want to come up with a

name than CAPI (though it _is_ right to the point). There's already a

with the name CAPI ( https://github.com/capi ), so aside from whether
CAPI is
a good name in its own right or not, that might cause problems. Maybe
pick
something suitably Greek or Roman, given that we already have Phobos?
The name
of one of the Titans would be fitting given that it relates to C (on the
theory
that the Greek gods are the successors of the Titans and D's standard
library
is named after a Greek god).
I think the name's fine. I don't see "<4-letter word> is already taken" as
a valid argument, considering the huge number of users. There's a GitHub
user called "phobos" and one called "tools", etc.
Also, I'm pretty sure the D standard library is named after Mars's moon,
considering that D was originally named "Mars Programming Language" (after
the company name, "Digital Mars").
