People who use your module will remember it because its name is in their
code, not because it is short. People who haven't used your module won't
remember its name, be it long or short. Making the name searchable is more
important than guessing what a programmer might find memorable.
A good Name description (I'm amazed, by the way, at the number of people
who totally screw this up -- do they not want anyone to use their code?)
and a clear Synopsis are far more likely to get me to install and try out
a module.
