Any chance that Dub packages could be called something else instead, 
such as "bundles", throughout the documentation, wiki, etc.? The point 
here would be to limit cognitive confusion/overlap with D language 
packages. It's just a minor cleanup I know, and of subjective value, but 
still I think it would be nicer...
