I do agree that using a "caml" or "ocaml" prefix is not a good idea. It is redundant. If you're using these libraries, you already know you are using OCaml. In this case, backwards compatibility is probably a good idea, but it seems like there's no consensus on that if Debian and GODI have been doing it differently.
Thus, we could go with what we consider to be more correct, which I think is "zip". On Mon, Aug 13, 2012 at 12:35 PM, Hezekiah M.
