Naming issue about paseto HOT 6 CLOSED

I'm very ironically running into the naming issue trying to search for other implementations of PAST (e.g. Python) to let repository owners know about the new acronym. I think this is an overwhelmingly positive idea.

What if we renamed this to Paseto? (PASeTo) It's far more Googleable.

what about SEXTANT

Secure, EXtensible, Tech-Agnostic, Nifty Tokens

has kind of a nautical vibe to it, and appears largely unoccupied :P

from paseto.

Is there any chance of an acronym change?

Very much yes. I went with "PAST" because I struggled and ultimately failed to think of something clever.

I really like SEXTANT as a name.

I'm going to go with Paseto simply because it minimizes the change necessary (same name, just different acronym) but is distinguishable on Google.

If @tqbf et al. are serious about a Web Token Competition, I hope someone uses it for their entry. It's a good one.

Good call, I like the name!
