Gage,

Sorry, I just got back from class.

I’ll respond in line!

Absolutely! That’s just a variable name — it could be called ‘puppies’, though 
that’s not very readable.

I’d recommend having a look at the Swift package manager example again — 
https://github.com/apple/swift-package-manager/blob/master/Documentation/SystemModules.md

There’s an example of using those modules together.

I’ll go ahead and comment it, but I think it’s simplistic enough that it should 
be readable with a grasp of some Swift concepts. Perhaps it’s a good idea to 
look through The Swift Programming Language to figure out some of the 
constructs I used — they’re fairly basic constructs.
