That's where I was going with this.  The packages I listed certainly aren't
comprehensive -- and I hope I didn't give that impression -- just meant to
be a starting point for discussion.  The packages an individual person uses
clearly vary, well, by person, but I don't think it's difficult to classify
something as a "thing[] that might be interesting to developers".
