I don't know whether everyone is already aware of this, or whether it'd
even be helpful at all -- but for the *packagename categories, it is
allowed for them to be merely *prefixed* with the package name.
*packagename-accessing and *packagename-testing will both be identified as
belonging to the package whose prefix matches that name.

Then, it'd be possible with "Filterable Lists" enabled, to simply
type "acc" in the categories pane to show all just the "accessing"
protocols, albeit, broken out by package (maybe IDE enhancement could
compress them into one, but then how to move extensions between
packages..).  Not perfect, but can be done with the IDE today.
