I had to re-read the title maybe 5 times before I got it, so I can definitely agree with your sentiment. The repetition of the "r" is definitely easy to miss.

I know that naming stuff is hard and I'm definitely pretty bad at it but when you're working at Google or some other tech giant I think you should have the elegance of being a bit more thoughtful with that stuff. I predict that it's going to make it significantly more painful to... google for libcurl in the future.

I invite the libcurl folks to name their next project "groogle".
