I probably can. But as a benevolent dictator. I.e. I define the spec, discuss 
it with the developers, and, unless developers can logically prove I want 
something impossible, the developers are ultimately coding the behavior 
according to _my_ definitions.

And implementing 'pkg.m' will first require resolution of namesspace issues - 
otherwise consistent implementation of global and local packages is logically 
impossible.
