    The one recommendation I remember from many, many years ago was that in
    the vein of the data structure being the real core of an object system,
    that you name the module after a noun, rather than a verb. So 'Depends'
    would be good (as short for 'dependencies'), and 'Distribution' is
    better than 'Distribute'.
