But “mathematical” is the first non-stop-word besides “truth table” in
the Wikipedia entry for “truth table”.

As for Boolean::Minimizer, I wouldn’t have the foggiest clue what that
module might be about from the name of it. Even after your explanation,
the foggiest clue is as much as I got. So I can’t really suggest better.
I vaguely suspect it’ll turn to be something best put in Data::, but who
knows.

To backtrack a bit here though – are these supposed to be in different
distributions? Sounds like Algorithm::QuineMcCluskey would be separate
but the others would ship together. If so, then one should probably be
a sub-namespace of the other.
