Can you name about 7 packages that would use this?

The way I see it, something like a shell or python doesn't have to have
a use: that is, you can use them for pretty much any purpose.

We are talking, that is, as the main user's goal for the software.
Like, if we were talking about hammers, we could say "planting nails",
but if we were talking about a sphere, we couldn't mention one main use
for it.

You can use works-with::software:source for that.

This one's difficult: there are many shells, but every shell has some
scripting differences, which makes me worry whether "devel::lang:shell"
would mean anything at all for practical purposes.


Ciao,
