FWIW, i think this is a bad idea. It intermingles two concerns that are
othogonal, namely installing a package and using it. I don't want to
have to specify in my code where a module comes from. This is how
PLaneT currently works, and their experience has been so negative that
they're redesigning the whole thing now.
