I don't think I would name it SMTP, though, simply because it is not
SMTP. Like you don't call a garage a car, or a stream a file. It would
also be silly to call gtk bindings gtk, or to call CLX just X. Do you
think 'UNIX' is a good name for a CL interface to UNIX?

Hey, it was mostly a sugestion / observation. I don't think you'll
have trouble with this, but IMO it is not a good name.

        Mario.
