The name "Denote" is an example of a class of clever names that we can
call "half-helpful".

Why half-helpful?  Because once you know that "Denote" refers to
"taking notes", you will probably remember that.  When you see the name
"Denote", you will recall what the package is good for.

Why only half helpful?  Because if you see only the name "Denote"
without the clue, you won't have the faintest idea what the package is
good for.  This initial mystery is what makes the name amusingly
clever.

Can we come up with documentation conventions, for use when mentioning
these half-helpful names, that will systematicall give the clue about
each?
