name of module

Can we clarify why we're calling it node-diagnostic-source?

How about node-trace-channel or node-trace-bus 🚌 ? "bus" is fun in my opinion 😆

Aligning with the .NET https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/tree/master/src/System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticSource that has exact the same purpose.

bus is fun though

I think it'd be great to choose a name which reflects the functionality clearly - it makes advocating in the community for this that much easier 😄 . With that in mind, 'diagnostic' is a long word to say and type, and the meaning of 'source' in this context isn't that clear.

Is there a reason to align with .NET on the name? And why in fact is the .NET module called DiagnosticSource?

Thanks!

Conclusion in another thread was to rename the repo to node-diagnostic-channel and the module to diagnostic-channel, see #10. Thanks!
