Seems like a very confusing name for a shell, seeing this without knowing the context I saw 'Oil', 'Shell' and assumed that it was about some oil spill or event with Shell Oil that happened in February I was unaware of. Looks like an interesting project regardless.
I’d say the developer is making their life much more difficult by using such a confusing name, which is a pity because the project looks really interesting.

Agreed. Also mods, please can we alter the title to something more descriptive and less baity?
