I agree that 'list' is a terrible package name, but only secondarily
because it is a data type. The primary problem is that it is so generic
as to be almost totally uninformative about what the package does.
For some reason package writers seem to prefer maximally uninformative
names for their packages. To take some examples of recently announced
packages, can anyone guess what packages 'FDTH', 'rtv', or 'lavaan'
do? Why the aversion to informative names along the lines of
'Freq_dist_and_histogram', 'RandomTimeVariables', and
'Latent_Variable_Analysis', respectively?
I'm sure it's part tradition...
