Oh, you hit the weak point of this proposal: I can not formulate a rule,
why e.g. libsodium does not need to be prefixed by "c-". And what about
c++ libraries? Maybe the main difference is that one can not (or only
hardly) use some (let's say) ruby package in C, whereas the other way
round is not much of a problem.
