At first I thought this was about the mold linker: [GitHub - rui314/mold: Mold: A Modern Linker 🦠](https://github.com/rui314/mold)

The name collision is unfortunate, but this seems quite useful!

Yes, unfortunate name collision. I didn’t know that linker, but anyway there are lot of projects named ‘mold’ in github (possibly also in other project hubs).

For the command line it’s fine to change its name, if it collides with other system-level tools. My main concern was to avoid name collision in the _Alire namespace_. So the name of the `mold_lib` crate, which implements all the functionality, is quite good, IMMO.
