I would say that `:loadpack` name cannot be used because “pack” is a
shorthand for “package” and “package” is defined as something that may
contain more then one plugin. Problem is that in `:h plugin` by
“plugin” means “file placed into {runtimepath}/[ft]plugin” while
modern plugins tend to have far more then one file, with most
functionality in autoload. Most people though use “plugin”, “addon”
and “extension” as a synonims (when Vim plugin/addon/extension is
meant, other applications may have different terminology) meaning “a
connected set of files with single purpose, distributed as a whole”.
Thus `:loadplugin` is not the best name, but it matches some
expectations while `:loadpack` does not fit at all.
