Yeah, I agree with you. I just want to make clear that it's not that I'm 
against naming libraries anyway people want, I'd just prefer avoid doing that 
for my libs (and i've done it before, e.g. Sonnet and the reasoning there was 
that I didn't want to call it 
KSpell3WithAdditionOfDefinitionsAndGrammarChecking :) ). 
If someone else likes it great, I expressed my opinion and that's all.
