That's a good suggestion for a name as well, especially when thinking about
its use as a type.

I've put up a basic MarkDown file on GitHub (the repo has been my general
dumping ground for files related to this).

https://github.com/craigfrancis/php-is-literal-rfc/blob/main/name.md

I'm happy to make additions and/or edits (can also accept pull requests if
you prefer).

Then maybe next week we can have a simple poll somewhere? Not sure if
anyone has any suggestions, but maybe Google Forms, where we can simply
enter you name and choose your preference (just going on a basic honour
system).

Craig
