i think this agrees with Frank. its "2-applications"

this would be interesting to try and maintain, but i don't think its very
practical. its just too much work. do you even *have* latex209 to test
under? i dont.

i think these could reasonably be supplied by the author of the
package, in the case of new packages

my list was a delusion, since i also have supergroups of `languages'
and `fonts', and i am not very consistent about the
distinctions. thats why `french' wasnt there, its in lang2/french. ams
actually has its own supergroup, just to confuse further.
