attic is/was the name of a pretty famous backup utility

Before it was forked, borg was called attic, so many people are going to be confused if they see the name used for a different tool I reckon.

Oh wow, I had known about BorgBackup but not its Attic history. The Attic backup tool seemed to have been abandoned for some time while everyone moved on to Borg, so it may be fine in the mean time as a tool only used by the Nix community. If there is actual confusion I'll consider renaming.

Maybe attix?

I can't count the amount of times I've mistyped attix in the last two days.

I'm thinking of binca which is a simple shorthand for "binary cache" that doesn't appear to be taken. What do you think?

Random suggestion: atticx

bianca (with an added a) would be coincidentally be a real-world name. Maybe an acronym to consider for binary (awesome) cache 😁
