there's no orchestration.

i think that among those of us familiar with the 10-20 libraries whose
name ends in "mm", there is probably just a feeling that it typically
designates a related set of technology (and in fact, typically a
common way of generating C++ bindings semi-automatically from
marked-up C headers). you're free to call your library whatever you
want, it would just be helpful if its name didn't immediately suggest
that it was part of this same family of libraries.

i notice that SDLmm has not had a commit in nearly a year, and appears
to have been named under a similar belief as your own.
