We could should move *some* of those out, in particular macros.forge,
but most of the files are really tiny, a few lines excluding comments.
So it probably wouldn't be worth the overhead to create separate
packages for them. I think that keeping them here is the best option.

that don't have any negative comments? Neal and Tom volunteered help
in the other part of the thread: should they be added as comaintainers?
