Package overview document?
This came from deep in my unresolved pile:

The problem is ensuring that you have a non-clashing name. dse1 has 00General.Description which seems to me to be very likely to clash.

I think the most obvious choice of name is the name of the package, but that would clash fairly often with the name of a function within it (e.g. boot), and it wouldn't show up first in alphabetical lists.
Is there yet any prescribed approach. If not, I would like to suggest 00General.Description.xxx where xxx is replaced by the package name. The 00 is to put it near the beginning of the index, but there may be a better way.
