I didn't know about this function either.  Is it correct that the org
parts of 'org-plus-contrib' shadow the whole of 'org', e.g.

  ...
  /home/loris/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20170828/org hides 
/usr/share/emacs/25.1/lisp/org/org
  /home/loris/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20170828/org-install hides 
/usr/share/emacs/25.1/lisp/org/org-install
  /home/loris/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20170828/ob-mscgen hides 
/usr/share/emacs/25.1/lisp/org/ob-mscgen
  /home/loris/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20170828/org-archive hides 
/usr/share/emacs/25.1/lisp/org/org-archive
  /home/loris/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20170828/ob-tangle hides 
/usr/share/emacs/25.1/lisp/org/ob-tangle
  ...
  
plus hundreds of similar shadowings?

Cheers,

Loris
