Indeed, "star unpacking" has been brought up many times; I think it would be 
really cool myself.  (Regardless of whether it's the best use of development 
effort; that would be up to the contributor.)

I haven't seen "star packing" proposed before, as best as I can recall.  
That's what strikes me as different in this discussion.
