[squeak-dev] Package name "SharedPool-Speech", "SharedPool-FFI", etc ?

There is currently a package dependency for VMMaker that requires the
entire Speech package (for KlattSynthesizerPlugin). This can be resolved
through a minor refactoring of Speech, mainly to move the shared pool
class KlattResonatorIndices into a separate package, e.g. "SharedPool-Speech".

Are there any objections to adopting the package name "SharedPool-Speech"
for this? By implication, we might also have "SharedPool-FFI" and so forth.

If no objections, I'll make a SqueakSource project for Speech, starting
with the Speech-md.9.mcz from Squeak 3.9a, and updating it as described.
With that in place, VMMaker will be loadable with just the shared pool
prerequisite, rather than the entire Speech package.

No flame wars please, just speak up if there is a good reason that I
should *not* do this.

Thanks!
