I’ve received this complaint before. The gem is named fastercsv,  
while the library is named faster\_csv. (I have no clue why I did that.)

How do people feel about a name change of the gem for the next  
release (to faster\_csv), realizing this will hinder RubyGems version  
control features for previous releases?

seems easier just to provide a gem that installs both : faster\_csv.rb  
and  
fastercsv.rb…

a link would suffice.

Rails has the same issue: gem activerecord vs file active\_record.

The next release (very soon now, just needs docs) will have this.  
Thanks for the feedback!
