Rename Package? #13

The Julia package registry prefers (but this isn't a rule) packages that aren't all caps, or all lower-case.

cfgrib.jl doesn't conform to that, but it is the correct name as that the python package is called cfgrib.

CFGRIB.jl is 'correct', but also doesn't really follow the standard.

CfGRIB.jl looks nicest to me, and follows the standards, but doesn't really follow conventions on how to capitalise acronyms. "Climate and Forecast GRIB" -> CFGRIB, but I guess "Climate and forecast GRIB" does kind of make sense as well.

Not really an important issue either way, but one to think about.

The only formal solution would be all caps, but how about CFGrib.jl ? (looks nicest to me)

Note that the naming standards are more recommendations than hard-rules. Maybe you'll just have to argument in 2-3 lines why you need all-caps at the registry process. There is sometimes some discussions between the registry maintainer and the developer at this stage.
