Talk to Justin (Xenith) before moving it in, as he's now the guru of
x11*, but I think it would be fine to do so.

I'm usually against uppercase, but in this case (sic) I agree,
especially if we lay down the law and say all spell names should be
lowercase (thoughts?), then we could have all provides uppercase, thus
we would not have to worry about a provider and spell having the same
name.
