Description

I was going to start a discussion on this on twitter https://twitter.com/softprops/status/1049729377699794944 but then I remembered this working group existed.

What I'm looking for is some guidance and direction for the current community standards ( if they exist ) around what to name my workspace members when I want to split a lib from cli app that is an interface for the lib. Ideally I'd be able to share the name for both but that's not possible with separate packages because their names are their unique identifiers!
