It is a word in more featureful versions of the English language ;)

planning to test this, just asking in case that will be useful to users.)
It depends. Ideally we should probably have Sage packages -- this is now
task ticket #20977.

Well,
{{{
sage -info polymake
}}}
would display this information.
I guess it would make sense to generate some documentation from it
automatically. I'm not sure if the existence of packages is advertised
anywhere except in the source tree. I always just try "sage -i
PACKAGENAME" and when it starts looking for old-style stuff, I hit C-c.
