We've decided to go with "solaris-studio-express" as the package name.
I'll submit a new request for a code review soon.

Thanks for the feedback!

I think we need to keep the "x" suffix on individual component package
names for now.  We're not doing the FCS release yet, and I'm still not sure
how we should manage multiple FCS versions of the compilers. If I
release a package called "cc" with the express release, I'll just make
my life more complicated when it comes time to release the FCS packages.

Our goal is that "pkg install cc" should just do the right thing
without any complications.  We want to emphasize FCS releases over
express releases, and we want to emphasize the latest FCS release
over earlier releases.  We also want users to be able to install
and update older versions of FCS releases when that is necessary.

It's not clear at this point whether we're going to use VEREXEC
for the upcoming FCS release, and that affects how the packages
are organized.  If we don't use VEREXEC, there are several different
arrangements that would give us most of what we want.

We could use empty packages with dependencies to select what "cc"
maps to.   We could republish binaries in both versioned and
unversioned package names to support both multiple installs and
a default install.  There is still some head-scratching to do here.
