Should raw library bindings drop the namespace prefix?
For context, I have written complete bindings to five different C libraries (freetype2, libvorbis, libspng, al, Chipmunk2D) and the question in the title may very well be the last one I have concerning FFI for quite some time. The question originates from the fact that chiphunk strips prefixes, something no other low-level library I've seen does.

3D graphics on Haskell in 2023
For example I to this day do not know if there's a library for reading specifically PNG files in a specific format. Yes, there's JuicyPixels which decodes a ByteString into some DynamicImage which may not even be the format I expect. This I guess is fine for most, but I don't want that, so I had to port libspng.
