That the class loads it, or has a similar inbuilt functionality.

You prevent LyX from loading this package also. This reduces unnesseary
code and sometimes also package options clashes.

What does Provides do?

[tush via lyx-users]

I am trying to understand the effect of the class parameter Provides when 
inserted into a layout file.

In the Customization manual, it says:
Provides [string] [0 , 1] Whether the class already provides the feature 
string. A feature is in general the name of a package (e. g. amsmath or 
makeidx) or a macro (e. g. url or boldsymbol). See Appendix A for the list of 
features.

What does it mean that a class provides a feature such as amssymb or xcolor? 
What changes should I see in the preamble of my tex file when including this 
command? And what about providing a macro. What is the macro "url", for example?--
