Can't upload a package named "oath" to Hackage

[Fumiaki Kinoshita]

If typo-squatting is a thing, they should be done against existing
packages, not for non-existing ones... I don't think it should prevent
uploading an innocent package anyway.

Btw there are way more confusing ones, like promise vs. promises, future
vs. futures...
