Come on, you must be aware gcc has been known since the dawn of the time as the gnu c compiler. Have some respect for standard naming conventions please!

I KNOW! :( Every time I'm reminded of creating/naming this module I cringe. I was honestly unaware of GCC, as I've had no experience with anything C (and family) related when naming it.

I deprecated it already, and I'm gonna unpublish in some time, but that won't really help because IIRC even when you unpublish the name can't be taken by another module. You'd probably have to contact some npm maintainer to have it. Shit.

Every eyeroll this module has caused is justified.

I'm truly sorry T.T

But wouldn't be an issue if npm supported darsain/closure-compiler namespacing. One of my many grudges with npm... :)

Still 34 downloads a week. Dammit. Don't want to break people's apps.
