Consider renaming library #38

I assume capabilities-via was a temporary name. It's leaking an implementation detail that, many years in the future or sooner than that even, will be largely immaterial.

There is already an (unmaintained) package called Capabilities. We could claim capability, with the view towards putting all modules currently at top-level under a Capability.* namespace.

To me, it always felt like a temporary name… to which I never found a better replacement (partly because capabilities-via does sound good, it has a rhythm to it).

I like the Capabilitynamespace. Let me claim that the modules should have nameCapability.Reader`, etc…

I don't have better than capability. standard-capabilities could be an alternative. cl is somewhat terrible, but is a reference to the mtl, of course.

I don't think I care all that much personally. I'll let you, @mboes and @aherrmann, choose.

Then it will end up being capability by default, unless something better comes up soon.
