Naming considerations

[tylr]

Should this project and/or CLI executable be singularized?

manifold init vs manifolds init ...

[claytongentry]

My (philosophical) take is that part of the magic of this project is it enables managing many different manifolds with a shared set of definitions. Plus, I dunno, the plural just sounds nicer to me — something about the aesthetics of manifolds init vs manifold init. What's your take?

[tylr]

I'm perplexed by how much a plural CLI executable unsettles me. I think I just can't think of a singular example of another one and rails doesn't count because it's a proper noun. Feels a little non-unix like. But I don't have any quantitative reason.

I'll let it slide if we wanna be quirky or just like it better aesthetically.
