"date" C++ library packaging

[Brett Cornwall via arch-general <arch-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Waybar [1] just had an update where it pulled in a project called 
"date" [2]. I'm hesitant to package this under the name "date" since 
GNU coreutils shares a binary with that name. But this isn't a totally 
obscure library.

Should I persuade upstream to change the name? Should I package it under 
another name? Or should I lay claim to the unused "date" package name 
and go on with my life?
