Just occurred to me that hydrogen could autoload kits!

used kit is in the pattern, right? its a xml tag including the name.

so why can't be just autoloaded?
I found 2 possible problems:
1- you don't have installed that kit. SOLUTION: just show a warning
and offer to install it from repo.
2- you use a pattern with one kit and another pattern with a different
kit. SOLUTION: show a warning and offer to continue with current kit
or switch to new.


this approach can be implemented parallel to tag/alias solution, they
both can coexist.

what do you think?
