Was "Global" name taken in consideration for naming? #30

I hope I am not late for the party, I read that the global name can't be used as it will break the web, but I was interested if Global, with the first capital letter, was taken in consideration for naming in this proposal?

Yes, it was considered as one of the options, but it was generally disliked due to sharing the PascalCase naming convention with constructors and namespaces.

The time for considering alternatives is indeed long past; the name has been selected.
