Crate naming conventions

Hi @haochenuw,

Not sure if you're aware of this, but just as a friendly heads up, in the Rust community, usually crate names are all in lowercase; this matches the naming scheme for modules. See here and here for details. (There is some disagreement on whether to choose kebab-case or snake_case, but in both cases the name is all lowercase.)

Hence I'd like to suggest renaming the crate to cupcake to follow these conventions. Of course, feel free to close this issue if you'd like to keep the name as is.

Thanks for reporting this -- Actually I tried renaming the module but didn't get it to work. If you know how to rename it plz share:)

Hmm so crates.io doesn't allow changing crate names after upload; so you would have to make a new crate called cupcake, and change the crate name locally, and then upload it. (btw, I recommend the tool cargo-release to automate a lot of these release tasks)
