PATCH: Add fields argument to installed.packages and available.packages

The idea was a field related to but weaker than 'Suggests' :
Something like
'canMakeUseOf: <pkg1> [, <pkg2>, ... ]
which is *not* used in any QA/QC checking, but is purely
informative: If <pkg1> is require()able, then some examples may
look nicer, a function may provide another feature, etc, etc.
Alternatives to 'canMakeUseOf' would have been
'isHappilyCoworkingWith' ....
What do you (R-devel listeners) think about the idea?
I still like this idea. I prefer 'canMakeUseOf' to 'isHappilyCoworkingWith' mainly because it seems less ambiguous. Paul Gilbert
