[Haskell-cafe] What's in a name?

[Andrew Coppin]

The naming of cats is a difficult matter...

Ahem. So as you may have noticed, we seem to have a profusion of 
packages all called "binary" or something dangeriously similar. There's 
also several "MD5" packages. I could point out a few others. So what I'm 
wondering is... Do we have a formal convention for the naming of 
packages and/or the naming of the modules they contain? How are name 
collisions supposed to be avoided? (E.g., Java uses domain names for 
this. If I write a package named Foo, I put all the classes in 
orphi.me.uk.Foo.*)
