 ABSTRACT 
==========

 This TIP proposes enhancing the existing *package* command with 
 additional subcommands to serve as the top-level command container for 
 the existing *pkg::create* and *pkg_mkIndex* commands. 

 RATIONALE 
===========

 The *pkg::create* and *pkg_mkIndex* commands, while they relate to 
 packages, are their own separate top-level commands. For consistency, 
 clarity and also making it easier for new users to see all the related 
 options, those commands should become options under the existing 
 *package* command. 

 SPECIFICATION 
===============

 Additional *package* command options will be added with the following 
 subcommand syntax: 

       package create     ;pkg::create
       package mkIndex    ;pkg_mkIndex

 Each represents the existing command that is commented. The arguments 
 to each would remain what the current command takes. 

 The following old commands could then potentially be eventually 
 deprecated: 

       pkg::create
       pkg_mkIndex
