X3J13 is considering a proposal to require the setting of *package* to be
the KEYWORD package during the scope of reading the forms under a #+ or a
#-. This will tend to give the appearance of "namestring" comparison rather
than EQ only because, for example, #+LUCID will be read in the feature as
:LUCID, and the search on *features* will be for that symbol. The X3J13
proposal would permit reading in feature names like #+MACSYMA:HYPERLINEAR,
in which case the member test would be with the symbol MACSYMA:HYPERLINEAR.
What do you do if you encounter #+nasa:hyperdrive but you don't have the
nasa package defined?
