Possible problem with name #1

Hi Billy, I'm Brian. I'm currently working on touching up your README and I'll shoot you a PR as soon as I'm done. In the mean time, I wanted to get your input about some things.

First, how attached are you to the name: pryx?

I know that you're not a native English speaker, so you might not be familiar with our slang. In English, a slang term for penis is prick. So your gem's name kinda sounds like the plural form of that. Namely, pryx sounds like pricks.

You can see how, even if the correct pronunciation of pryx is like 'pry' and then the 'x' sound, I think most everybody is going to read it as the other way, like the slang term above.

So, how do you feel about adding a dash? Like, pry-x? Then it seems like it's pronounced 'pry' and then the 'x' sound. I'm guessing that that's how you meant for it to be pronounced?

But, if you don't care, then that's cool too :)

I might have some questions for you about the README, here in a minute.

That syntax with the plus sign:

RUBYOPT+=' -rpryx'

is that for zsh?

So, would it be different for bash? Like:

RUBYOPT=' -rpryx'

Let me know (if they are both valid) if I should add both examples, like one for zsh and one for bash.

Sorry in advance, I might have trouble understanding some of these things because I'm still kind of new to programming.

pryx sounds like pricks.

Wow, this is a bit bad.

RUBYOPT+=' -rpryx'

This is a syntax for BASH, probably need a more recently version, BASH 4? check https://www.baeldung.com/linux/bash-append-variable-to-itself#the--operator-in-bash
