Arrrg.

Isn't the naming convention part of the external language of squeak?

That is, something we all must argee upon*
 inorder for packages to be interchangable?

Making one's own convention only works on one's own island. 
When it comes time to share the problem of dealing
 with external language remains.

So it sort of destroys the whole virtue of packages in the first place.
