Well, I'm probably using the wrong terms here; the effect does not
necessarily have to involve doing things at the level of the package
system, as long as both A:FOO-A and B:FOO-B would be the same thing,
in the sense of being able to access slot A of S1.

I'll grant that this is (hopefully) a feature that doesn't get used
very often in the wild.
