Yup, and notice how that doesn't fit the package structures we have
now: we have classic Kernel stuff with some needed Collections bits.

If you think of Kernel as "the minimal core of a Smalltalk image",
that makes sense. But Collections doesn't have a nice, clean user
story behind it. It's just "if it smells like a Collection, it goes in
here."
