Hello;

After reviewing: https://github.com/OPM/opm-core/pull/560 I though that
maybe the EclipseWriter stuff also should be moved to the parser? The
parser is already a quite fat and heavy ‘parser’ – and maybe renaming it
to something like EclipseInter / EclipseIO / …; or alternatively we
could say that Eclipse is the baseline and call it Opm-IO? When we
really have plenty of time we could implement opm-core / opm-autodiff
based on an abstract class Opm::ReservoirState – where
Parser::EclipseState is derived from Opm::ReservoirState – but that is
2016 material I guess.

Anyway – I hope the rename can be a topic of discussion for the autumn?

Eclipse is a very common word and might add confusion to the intended
naming of the module. For example the Java software IDE application
is called "Eclipse" [1]. Schlumberger calls their Reservoir Simulator software "Eclipse" [2,3]. Perhaps, if you are looking for a different name, dropping a word, such as Eclipse [4], in lieu of something more tangible in it's core_root meaning, might be an improvement ?

Literally thousands of variant uses of "Eclipse" litter the minds of many folks. For me, it was a failed computer company, here in Florida,
that tried to build SUN Microsystems clones based on the old Solbourne
(Tatung) motherboards; the earliest of the failed Sun Clone companies, that first comes to my mind. We're not stargazing; we are core physics exploriationist and math_noodlers, imho. I was reminded of this recently when researching numerical models of surfactant.

Perhaps a keyword from the subsurface geologic literature that is more accurate compared to the apropos "Eclipse" ? Perhaps combined with a basic functional purpose in the name of the module might add additional clarity?
