A prefix ensures that the repository structure is future proof. What if
we decided to move symbol library repositories to Github too? This may
result in slightly annoying ambiguities in certain usage cases.

I think that in this case four characters isn't a big price to pay,
especially when most of the library names are longer than 10 characters.

By the way, what do you think about 'fp_' as a prefix? It's both more
explicit and shorter.
