Hah true!

My girlfriend has strong opinions about how we use the word "library" to describe a software package.

Surely the metaphor should be that one package is a "book" and the entire package repository is the library, right? Left pad is an entire library? Huh?

And then we have no collective noun for collections of libraries!

So then a function or subroutine or whatever could be a chapter? I’d be down for that I think.
