Rename #3

Closed westnordost closed 5 years ago

I noticed the name "osmnames" is already taken: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=osmnames&ia=software

So maybe I should rename this. It should be short, but also descriptive of what it does: _A dictionary of map features, accessible by terms and by tags._

So, maybe:

or perhaps more general and shorter:

Also good idea, though, it is also possible to have a dictionary of OSM keys and OSM values (not map features). For example:

Key: surface -> Oberfläche Tag: surface=sett -> Steinpflaster

etc. But this library doesn't do that.

True. I imagined the lib will do this eventually in the future. :P

Maybe I will do this in the future (data source can be the same), but features <-> presets/fields/tags/keys is a good point to separate.

I will simply use "osmfeatures".
