Why the name "Flashlight"

Before I decided on the name, I wanted to use some mythology reference, because I assumed that the "Torch" library based its name on Prometheus myth, but it didn't click.

Some time after that, I thought to myself "Why base the name on some mythical meaning of stuff, when I can refer to them literally.", and that's when I came up with three name ideas for project: "Lamp", "Bulb" and "Flashlight", and well... I decided on "Flashlight" because It sounded the goofiest of them all.

Sure, I could've tried to justify it with something like, "Flashlight is written in Rust and Torch is written In C, so Flashlight is safer, like how flashlights are safer than torches..." but I would be lying if I did. I decided on that name because it was funny, and I didn’t think it would actually fit the project — but here we are, and now it feels like the perfect name.

I hope you had a good time reading this short story of myself. I just rly wanted to include that in the readme, so deal with it.
