Name conflict clash #7

Hey! I really like the idea of wrapping an http client in this manner, I think that's quite nifty!

I would like to raise this issue to consider renaming the project to web-mouse or mousey-http or... in general something other than the clashing Mouse - the Mouse project in Scala is fairly well established and I think it's doing this library a disservice that a "scala mouse github" google search will always find the typelevel project first - and also that it would be confusing to coworkers if I said "I'm adding the mouse library" to then have to specify which mouse library!

I hope me saying so doesn't come across as dismissive to this project, that's certainly not my intent 🙏

That is a fair point, as usual, naming is hard. Don't worry, your comment doesn't sound rude or dismissive, and I could understand how there could be confusion.

I would like to keep this issue open for awhile, and I'd like to address it before we get to 1.0.

Something along the lines of http-mouse, web-mouse, doesn't have a bad ring to it. But I'd like to consider other rodents and friends possibly. Maybe reach out to lagomorphs and marsupials.

Along with that, I would likely move the organization to a more proper name than just my own github account as well. I would like to address this in the near-ish further.
