Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the public namespace declaration and all references to the util namespace, then update the affected references; the work is done when the project uses the mapbox namespace directly without the extra util level and the existing test suite passes.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

interface change

The extra level util namespace is unnecessary: we're not going to have a conflict on the name variant in the mapbox namespace, and util does not add any semantic information; all of our mapbox-namespaced projects are utilities of some kind.
