 It would be great if there were a nice comprehensive Note (perhaps in
 `Module.hs`) describing the various identifiers which we have for modules,
 packages, units, etc.

 These might include,

  * `Package`
  * `PkgName`
  * `PkgKey`
  * `PkgId`
  * `UnitId`
  * `UnitKey`
  * Component?

 After writing this I found [[Commentary/Packages/Concepts]] but it would
 be great if this information found its way into a nice, central Note.
