How do you handle naming conflicts on crates.io?

Have people experimented with having the crates.io package name separate from the crate name?

That's a good idea. We could tell people to use something like this in their Cargo.toml.

rune-syntax = { package = "hotg-rune-syntax", version = "1.0" }

With respect to crate names becoming unwieldy, I would note that hotg-rune-proc-block-macros isn't that much worse than rune-proc-block-macros . The latter name is kinda already clunky on its own.

That's a good point. I guess another option is to copy numpy and matplotlib from the Python world and tell people to use an alias when importing (e.g. use rune_proc_blocks as rune_pb). I'm fine with a longer name as long as people don't need to type it out in full every time.
