Description

Just thinking out loud, I wonder if it would be useful for both the Julia package and the Python package to have the same name.

Why?
- Let's us talk about both as a single entity (which they are) more easily.
- Emphasises that they are two interfaces to the same code.
- Discovery and cross-pollination between Julia and Python ecosystems.
- Joint branding.

This would clearly be a breaking change, but could be considered for v1 (which has slowly been in the works for a very long time).

I haven't thought of a good name. Should probably allude to both Julia and Python. The only reasonable suggestions I have are JuPyCall or JuPyLink - maybe too similar to jupyter.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the current Julia and Python package identities and the proposed v1 breaking-change context; done would require an agreed shared name and a clear migration plan.
