Idea: Make a neuropixels-toolkit namespace so it can play well with others

[stevevanhooser]

Suggestion:

Make a namespace for neuropixels-toolkit, such as nptk.

To do this, you'd put your code files in directories that begin with a +.

For example:

src/+nptk/+recording
src/+npkt/+sorter
src/+npkt/+util

Then you'd call them with the name space

recording = nptk.recording.read_recording(data_file_path)
sorter = npkt.sorter.initial_folder(fpath)

With the name space, it does not matter if someone else makes a class or a variable called sorter. Your code will still work.

I like this idea a lot, and at same time realize this would then be a moment to dwell some on the name.
My head isn't exactly in that place at the moment, but I'm generally inclined towards something in the "neural probe pipeline" direction.
