nickname collision

[fade]

I noticed that the :bt nickname given to binary-types conflicts with the nickname given to bordeaux-threads ... and while this isn't exactly a bug, it does prevent (for example) cl-inotify from loading in any system that also uses bordeaux-threads. Is it possible to drop/change the nickname assigned to the binary-types package?

Hello Brian,

I must say I haven't really done anything with binary-types for ..
years. I don't even know which (if any) download location you're
thinking of. Feel free to chance the nickname any way you see fit.

Regards,
Frode Fjeld

Thanks for the response, Frode. When I went looking for who to talk to about the nickname issue, I got the impression that the package may be an archeological artifact, but it is still in use, notably in the cl-inotify package, and it appears that it can be cloned from your github account. :) If you want, I can issue a pull req with an updated nickname tag.
