@jsbarretto Urgh, this is so true! 💯

I'm currently writing a crate for extracting embedded and attached files from pdf files and there are so many "name collisions":
- when naming something with "file", it shouldn't be confused with pdf file itself
- pdf standard distinguishes "embedded" and "attached" files => how should I name the crate (ideas welcome😉)!? The name "pdf-extract-embedded-file" is only half-true.

Maybe use neither "embedded" nor "attached" in the crate name (only in methods)!?

@janriemer That's a really good example of this, yes. Names are reflections of abstractions.
