The hereapplies <https://ctan.org/pkg/hereapplies> LaTeX package has stably
been part of the CTAN repository for a while now, and a LyX module
<https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/hereapplies/lyx-module>
is shipped with it. Will it be possible to include the module among the
modules installed by LyX?
