If you were to name it MIDI, I would suggest putting it in all caps as
that's how it's usually stylized, and most of our acronym package

pull request to publish your package and ask for feedback on the name,
etc...  I find your name very unambiguous, but then again I've done a
lot of digital music stuff. :)
