I'd prefer to keep it that way, I read about it exactly at <https://svardos.osdn.io/phpamb.php?fname=help/help-en.amb&f=pkgfmt.ama> at the same minute. :-) Typo there (3 times): \KGNAME --> \PKGNAME > although I might revisit if the version-comparing code I will create > ends up to be not satisfactory.
