Rebranding (name change) #102

Description

@jblachly

When we started, dhtslib was merely a wrapper over htslib.

Today, it is more extensive and feature filled than -- as far as I can tell -- most or all of the other htslib wrappers in other languages, adding even more than just some higher-level interfaces to htslib primitives (with RAII naturally), but also including BED and GFF3 readers, CIGAR manipulations, and finally, Typesafe Coordinates.

In light of this, I think we should rebrand. I have mixed feelings about including d (or D) in the library/package title, and think we should probably (but not definitely) also include something along the theme of sequencing, bioinformatics, or more narrowly, "HTS".

Potential choices:

  • dseq (too similar to DESeq R package)
  • seqd, seq-d
  • SEQeD / SeqeD / Seqed / seqed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seked with pyramid logo)
  • htsd, hts-d
  • dhts
  • DiHTS ("ditz") or DiHTSy ("ditzy")
  • Bioinformagic
  • ?

Given the potential for imagery/logos, and simple name, I am leaning toward one of the variants of seqed
