Re: packages with orphaned instances only

I wonder if it might be feasible to add some infrastructural support for this, e.g. so-called adapter packages, which get installed automatically when the packages they adapt between are both present? (Or, thinking further, perhaps even automatic importation of adapter modules at the language level?)

This would be analogous to automatic import of instances at a package level. However the adapter package might import other heavyweight packages that someone may not want to have.
