As discussed some time ago on IRC, I think it would be good to
homogenize this with ‘lookup-package-input’ and related procedures
introduced in ba32f6363878165b3ca53113f6c95b8677b8537b (we both had the
same idea :-)).

What about keeping the ‘this-’ macros above, rewriting them in terms of
‘lookup-’, and removing ‘package-input’ and ‘package-native-input’?

Anyhow, I’m glad this series made it into the repo, thumbs up comrades!
