Potential naming conflict. #1

Description

@amcgregor

Hello,

I'm the author and maintainer of the WebCore web framework, in production use since 2009 or so. My Google Alerts notified me of the creation of your project here and registration of it on Packagist. Due to PHP being a web development language, I see a strong potential for a naming conflict to have potentially confusing impact on end-users. That is, web developers. After Apple's WebKit (which has a "core" module) and a company named Webcor (a construction industry company), my own WebCore is the third result in Duckduckgo (un-customized) results.

I would be extremely grateful if this naming conflict could be resolved, and the pain of re-naming a project tree is something I have felt on this particular project in the past (the "marrow" org on Github here formerly being "pulp", re-named due to conflict).

Thank you for your consideration,
— Alice, Marrow Open Source Collective
