I personally think that in Python there is some consistency in using lowercase capitalization for types and data structures: int, str, list, datetime, dict, tuple, array,... and it feels like dataframe belongs to that group, more than a general class.

But if @devin-petersohn is ok with DataFrame, and there are no more opinions, I'll open a PR in the RFC for DataFrame (since it's the one being used so far).

I am only okay with DataFrame if Array (capitalization) is how we are spelling the array protocol. As long as we are consistent between the two, I am okay.

we didn't specify a name there - there's just "an array object". Reason: not needed (there's no way to call <array>.__init__), and existing libraries will not rename their existing array, Array, NDArray, Tensor` objects anyway.

Status quo is DataFrame.
