You're right, that's kind of why I named the bash command 'proto' instead of 'cproto', but maybe that's not enough. Any suggestions? I'll change it later today.
Is there a convention where the 'node-' prefix is off-limits for any reason? I don't know if it's really any better but if this were 'node-cproto' I wouldn't have commented.
The other option would be to do some word-play name like 'domesticator'.
