The -util in clif-util was originally added to work around problems in cargo doc with having a library and an executable with the same name, but that no longer appears to be a problem. In Wasmtime, we have both a wasmtime crate and a wasmtime executable with no problems.
So, what would folks think about renaming clif-util to either cranelift or clif?
Sounds good in general! I don't have a strong opinion on new name, while cranelift is the most straightforward. I mostly interact with the binary through cargo, so it won't be a large change one way or another.
:+1: for cranelift
