maybe this library should be called libzig (or libz for short) #5

I watched your talk, btw (great, many thanks, and I certainly learned some bits)!

Just one thought (I may be wrong): Maybe this project should be called libzig (or libz for short) : it aims to be a (general) zig library after all (not a C library) - it just so happens that that there is a lot overlap between Zig an C (and deliberately so), and consequently this library takes a lot of inspiration from Zig's C heritage.

Just my 2c.

It's an implementation of libc in Zig, so it isn't any kind of "libzig", as it's intended to be used from C.

libz is already taken
