such as `Google Chrome.app`
* Remove `.app` from the end
* Translate the name into English if necessary
* Remove from the end: "mac", "for mac", "for OS X". These terms are generally
added to ports such as "MAME OS X.app". Exception: when the software is not
a port, but "Mac" is an inseparable part of the name or branding, as in
'PlayForMac.app'
* Remove from the end: hardware designations such as "for x86", "32-bit", "ppc".
* Remove from the end: software framework names such as "Qt", "Gtk", "Wx", "Java", "Oracle JVM", etc.
Exception: the framework is the product being Casked: [java.rb](../Casks/java.rb).
* Remove from the end: localization strings such as "en-US"
* Pay attention to details, for example: `"Git Hub" != "git_hub" != "GitHub"`
* If the result of that process is something unhelpful, such as `Macintosh Installer`,
then just create the best name you can, based on the author's web page.
