Comment (by vbraun):
The doctest for the `load_package()` isn't necessary if it is tested
elsewhere, but it is the natural place in the docstring to point out that
you have to install HAP. I'll let you decide if you want to keep it or
not.
As I said already, helpful explanations should be warnings not errors. The
error message should be less than a whole line if possible. Advanced users
shouldn't be drowned in paragraphs of text for simple errors. We could
make warnings more prominent (say, using colors or bold text), but thats
for another ticket.
