Bikeshed "The Advanced Rust Programming Language" as a name

[Gankra]

@dherman suggested this iirc -- but I can't remember.

@brson is concerned that it is too similar

Originally it was called The Unsafe Rust Programming Language since it largely focuses on unsafe code and the stuff that matters to it.

[brson]

Here are my problems with the current arrangement:

• A second book, and one that claims to be 'advanced', diminishes both the significance of 'The Book' and its brand. It will never have the stature of 'The C Programming Language' if it has a more 'advanced' big brother looming over it.
• Multiple separate books is a path to balkanization of the docs, where Steve gets his docs, Gankro gets his docs, I get my docs and nobody's working together.
• Practically, if we now publish The Book, we have to exclude a big chunk of information that people would probably want included.
• The name is misleading. 'Advanced' has many connotations. This isn't advanced concurrency, or advanced architectural design - it's advanced unsafe.

@brson and I are basically on the same page when it comes to "Advanced," I had the exact same thoughts.

[Gankra]

Discussing at lunch the top contender became "The Rustinomicon" in reference to the fact that this is dark magic that mere mortals dare not tamper with.

@gankro does it need to be separate from TRPLB? Essentially echoing what @brson said, anyone who wants to understand rust to a decent standard will probably want to know this stuff.

[Gankra]

@Toby-s the important thing about this text, and indeed Rust itself, is that you don't need to know it. This is a book for all the horrible details unsafe code entails. I believe it would be a mistake to include it with THE book, which is Everything You Need To Know.

(I thought was going to be spelled "Rustonomicon", since we're implicitly making references to "Necronomicon" and "Cryptonomicon".)
