Maybe just call it mscorlib?

It is unusual to include the word "safe" in Rust, since anything unsafe in Rust is opt-in.

It's part of a common set of nomenclature when dealing with ffi. The first crate is just straight ffi bindings, with a suffix, sys. The next layer up deals with and wraps the unsafe bits (raw pointers, conversions, etc,) and has a suffix of safe.

Consider odbc-safe: https://crates.io/crates/odbc-safe

The -sys naming is conventional, since it's special and must properly handle linking. But i think the -safe naming is not. Actually I think it's really rare...

Sorry, this fell by the wayside with other stuff happening in my life.

So I think the situation with odbc, odbc-safe, odbc-sys is that there are three layers and there needs to be some distinguishing. I wasn't sure how many layers I'd eventually need, so I went with the future-proofed path in case I did need 3. Does that make sense?

Sure. It's just the one without any suffix is user/downstream-oriented.
