Ah. Yes, PackageInfo is quite finicky at times.
After loading OMeta2-Preload, the default PackageOrganizer correctly holds the two special instances for OMeta2-Preload and OMeta2-Preload. Their classes are OM2PreloadPackageInfo and OM2PostPackageInfo, respectively. That's because they register themselves in their class-side initializers.
But "PackageInfo named: 'OMeta2-Preload'" does not answer the registered instance. It creates a generic "OMeta2" PackageInfo instance instead, and answers that.
Seems like the change to #named: did the opposite of what it was supposed to do in this case ... at least the old registration scheme seems to be at odds with the new class-side packageName method.
Reverting #named: to Avi's old version makes the OMeta package infos work correctly. Maybe we should get rid of the automagic registration again? Chris?
