Library naming about base64 HOT 3 OPEN

I'm tending towards akbase64 as a pretty short and reasonably memorable name.

from base64.

This relates to #67. In that issue, I remarked that I consider it a reasonable thing for a base64 library to claim the base64 namespace. I am still partial to that opinion, although I also understand where you're coming from. Claiming a widely used prefix is not very social behavior when it comes to the kind of multi-tenant environment that vcpkg seems to be working in.

You're correct that I'm considering making some breaking changes for the next release. (Though if I do so, that release will probably be 1.0.0rc1 or 0.99.x and not 0.6.0, to indicate through the version number that there is an API discontinuity.) In that process, I would really like to overhaul pretty much everything in this library, and maybe renaming the library might be a nice crown on top of that work. No better break from the old than to start fresh under a new name.

The question remains, if we're going to rename it, what would be a good name? I'd like to include base64 or b64 somewhere in the name so that the library is easy to find.

Sounds good to me 👍
