Various others have attempted to write libraries with the same name using various methods (but failed to include the excellent documentation).
Many have since been abandoned, only implemented subsets and appear to lack working examples.
Lots of inexperienced users have been misled into thinking they could continue using the same code.
If you want to write a library at least have the manners to give it a unique name (and, of course write documentation). I wrote my own using much WiringPi code.
