Hi,

First, thanks for writing and maintaining pk4!

I think we spoke about this before but I just can't help but find it
difficult to parse the word "avail".

I'm sure it is 100% correct with respect to the dictionary definition
but the usage here comes across ungainly and ultimately an impediment to
adoption as it makes it somewhat unclear what the package does from the
short description.

Patch attached that uses "extract" which not only moves away from the
problems of avail it also captures rather better what pk4 does, despite
— of course — pk4 doing more than this. :)


Best wishes,
