[Develop] Miro packages

Today I got into a sort of awkward situation when I tried to create a platform
package for my frontend-backend work.  I quickly found out that there is a
module in the standard library called platform that conflicted with my name
choice.  I tried to think of a better name, but the best I could come up with
is "miroplatform", which I'm not really a fan of at all.

This got me to thinking, we should put all our modules inside a miro package
to avoid this sort of thing.  I think we've had name conflicts in the past,
and it's a pretty annoying problem.

Do folks think it's worth the work to change this?  I'm sort of think it's a
good idea, but I don't have that strong of an opinion.  I think it'll take a
day or so, but I haven't thought too much about potential snags.
