The GEOS-Chem executable has been called geos for a very long time. However, GEOS-Chem is not GEOS. I propose that we rename it to geoschem, or gchp, or something else that is not geos. Thoughts?

Agreed. gchp makes sense to me as a name, and perhaps gcclassic for GC-Classic (obviously)?

I think this makes sense too. I like Seb's suggestions for names because they follow the names of the wrapper repositories.

This is now done in the dev/13.0.0 branch for GCHP.

I'm doing this for GC-Classic now and wonder if we should have an extension to make it clear it is an executable.
gchp.x and gcclassic.x?

Looks like we dropped the .x from hemco_standalone.x in the switch from GNU make to CMake. GMAO uses .x but the Unix standard extension for executables is actually no extension. I'll stick with gchp and gcclassic.
