Mr. Flibble was right, I realized the name was too misleading.

That realization came now half a year /after/ publishing an article
about it.

Anyway, it's <url: https://github.com/alf-p-steinbach/Wrapped-stdlib> now.


Cheers!,

I never say I told you so but I told you so.

"stdwrap" would be a better name IMO. :)

Or possibly, stdwrp, for symmetrical dropping of vowels.

Yes shorter is better especially if you use the lib's name for its namespace name.

But maybe alflib is planned as name for something more fundamental?

Other suggestions:

stdalfabi, abi being latin for "both", suggesting both std and alf

alfibi, "ibi" being latin for "in that place", suggesting being in the place of alf
