[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

All,

To keep a link with previous ‘define-package’ discussion, I've 
merged this bug with #15284.  It was never resolved IMO and things 
have changed since 2013 with the label-less input style.

(define-anything STRING ...) is just too weird to ack.  Are there 
any package names that aren't currently valid symbols?  Is there a 
good reason for them?

Kind regards,

T G-R
