This idea is not new {as you must surely have guessed}. In fact,
there's a much longer standing proposition of  "usePackage()"
(IIRC, or "use.package()" ?).  However, we (R-core) always had
wanted to also provide a ``proper'' class named "package" 
along with this, but for several reasons didn't get around to it.. yet.

-- I've diverted to R-devel now that we are really talking about
   desired future behavior of R
