[Cuis-dev] Reload button in package list tool

[Luciano Notarfrancesco]

Is it actually possible to load a different version of a package that is
already installed? Sounds quite nontrivial, same as uninstalling a package.
For example what happens if an installed package implements
Object>>#printOn: but the new version doesn’t? You restore the #printOn:
from the base image? Not to mention that a package could run arbitrary code
on loading, I have no idea how to reverse that.
