[Cuis-dev] package, subpackage and changes

[Juan Vuletich]

Hi Seba,

Having a package name be a prefix of another package name doesn't work. 
We'd give users some meaningful error message. Or see if we can make it 
actually work!

The easiest solution is to use disjoint package names. That's why we 
have things like 'JSON' and 'Tests-JSON' (and not 'JSON-Tests' that 
makes more sense).

We need to improve here.

Thanks,
