Rebranding (name change) #102
Description
When we started, dhtslib was merely a wrapper over htslib.
Today, it is more extensive and feature filled than -- as far as I can tell -- most or all of the other htslib wrappers in other languages, adding even more than just some higher-level interfaces to htslib primitives (with RAII naturally), but also including BED and GFF3 readers, CIGAR manipulations, and finally, Typesafe Coordinates.
In light of this, I think we should rebrand. I have mixed feelings about including d (or D) in the library/package title, and think we should probably (but not definitely) also include something along the theme of sequencing, bioinformatics, or more narrowly, "HTS".
Potential choices:
- dseq (too similar to DESeq R package)
- seqd, seq-d
- SEQeD / SeqeD / Seqed / seqed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seked with pyramid logo)
- htsd, hts-d
- dhts
- DiHTS ("ditz") or DiHTSy ("ditzy")
- Bioinformagic
- ?
Given the potential for imagery/logos, and simple name, I am leaning toward one of the variants of seqed

seqedis also apparently an ancient bioinformatics tool no longer in use AFAICThttps://odin.mdacc.tmc.edu/gcg/unix/seqed.html

At first glance, I am partial to dhts, seqd, SEQeD.

Looks to be narrowed to

Will defer for now and likely make a gradual package renaming over time.
