Change the name from mixin to higher order component, or Decorator #53

Hi! First of all thanks for this library, I like it much better than the other alternatives out there (not that there are particularly a lot of them).

I dont think that mixin being part of the name is accurate, this lib behaves like a higher order component and you could even say like a decorator. So, the main idea is to propose a name change!

Thanks! Fran

As of 5.x of this library is implemented as a Higher Order Component (HoC.) Prior to 5.x the library implementation was the standard React.createClass mixin.

I can easily change the GitHub name to reflect the implementation changes; but what about npm registry?

Any suggestions from the community about repo naming and impacts of an npm package name changes would be appreciated

Changing the repo's name isnt a problem but the npm's name it might. This might be the mainstream solution: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28371669/renaming-a-published-npm-module

My plan for this is to move this library out of my personal repository lists and into a community owned repo. I'll make try to incorporate these suggestions into that move. No ETA on this yet but is part of the game plan. Need to move out of person control and into community space.
