Surely I have a feeling of confusion :-) at the idea of having a generic 
package with a large number of interelated formal packages. That sounds a 
new way to create unmaintainable spagetti code (gotos aren't the only way to 
make things impossible to understand). That's irrespective of how the 
formals on the outer package are named.
