I went to fix a typo (`tech' to `racket') and ended up moving and
tweaking the text. I hope the changes are ok.
I like the way the example distinguishes the package name, collection
name, and library name, and so I added a sentence to explicitly note
that `require' lines don't refer to packages. T

It doesn't need to be phrased as a comparison to Planet1, but it can be
given as a reassurance that this "package system" thingy does not add any
baggage to require lines.

I agree in that context that it is useful as a part of the "What's
different about Planet 2?" And it's there (question 6).
But, in the context of a new Racket user learning about packages, I don't
see a reason to add the baggage of how it's different than some system
they've never used.

There _is_ reason to think these modules are different, because they were
different in Planet1. I've had to remind myself several times that Planet2
packages don't have special require forms, and that's just during
discussions -- I haven't even been writing code with them yet. Clarifying
that Pla
The documentation already says "A package is a set of modules for some
number of collections." And there's no reason to think that these modules
are different from other modules, so I don't see why we need to point out
that they are required like all other modules are.
If you think it's very confu
As I was trying to assembly my first planet2 package, I found myself wondering
how exactly to 'require' modules associated with planet2 packages. My initial
assumption (require them like any other collection containing modules) turned
out to be correct, but there was a period when I doubted this
