And it's worth keeping in mind that there may be packages out there who can't all happily coexist at the same time in memory, or that have very expensive imports... I'm thinking of having an API for this so the user can register a set of default packages to always have loaded, as well as an easy way to load others at runtime into the available index. That way, users can easily load what they need in any given session (one day it could be Qt and the next WX).
