I was just trying to talk in general words about Kai martin's package idea.
A package, (or any name for same idea), is a dir with footprint, symbol,

Chip is not alot better than package.  They both have the common word problem.
Chip is just a bit more specific, so I thought there would be fewer ways to confuse it
