A private email from a new person using my package:

1. We might be better saying:
Run 'pkg load symbolic' to use this package. Run 'news symbolic' for
recent changes.
(At least if the package and user do not specify autoload.)
2. Also, should "-forge" just be the default unless the argument is a
filename (ends in .tar.gz or .zip?)
