ah, ok. but it has been there for years and was never included

I proposed LispKit because I saw a reference to the old Lisp package. it
is not included by default, it is present in the non-installed package
list. never mind.
LambdaMessageSend I find quite useful, and it's general purpose; I
believe it could belong to the toolbox of any developer.
the truth is that, while you rightly think about the usefulness of the
packages you provide, I think about the visibility a package gets when
included in your images. it's a bit of a chicken/egg problem: if nobody
is aware of the existence of LambdaMessageSend or Colors, then nobody
will use them and they will seem useless :)
regards,
Stef
