@caskroom/maintainers, esp @vitorgalvao, I've been thinking about naming executable-binary-only Casks with a prefix as in this PR, cli-iloc.rb.

Thoughts?

I think it would be a bit awkward for many casks. For example, should haskell-platform be named cli-haskell-platform if it was added today?

[vitorgalvao]

@federicobond No, because haskell-platform uses install, not binary. @rolandwalker is referring to cases where the casks consists only of linked CLI tools (the ones that use binary exclusively).

Regarding the issue’s question, I have no strong opinion either way, but I do think some separation could be beneficial. If we go the suffix route, however, they should perhaps be the same (either binary or cli in both the name and the cask).

@vitorgalvao you are right, that's what I was thinking. But after @federicobond's question I have to ask myself if that would be confusing to a user. A user shouldn't have to know or care what we did inside the Cask.

So, let's broaden the question to say yes, all non-GUI apps would be prefixed "cli-", even cli-haskell-platform. Is that stupid? It might be.

I'm pretty certain it would be a good idea to add a consistent prefix on screensavers, input methods, and others that install into ~/Library and are not apps. For CLI Casks I am not so sure.

Thanks for the clarifications @vitorgalvao and @rolandwalker. I don't think prefixing all non-GUI apps is a good idea. It would probably confuse many users and contributors. I'm definitely open to doing this with more specific kinds of software though, such as screensavers and colorpickers, as @rolandwalker suggested.

I agree in full.

[rolandwalker]

OK. Clearly decided against. I will update this PR without the prefix.
