Currently we have more-or-less one file per package, except for sets of closely related packages, like GMP/MPFR/MPC. There’s a slight overhead associated with each file (license header, module declaration, module imports, additional ‘stats’ when doing package searches or ‘--list-available’, etc.) That’s why I thought we could try an in-between approach like this. I’m open to suggestions on this front, though! Thanks, Ludo’.
