I generally try to use either Faré's "slashy" systems (like 
"shop2/common") in my work.  When I can, it's even better to use a 
`:module` which isn't visible at all.

I think what you are really asking is "how should I name a system that 
the user should never load *directly*?"  I don't have a great answer to 
this question.
