WorksBetter had also given me problems in the past, conflicting with other
packages. I think that this happens if 2 extensions try to patch the same
system global. So, I did rename it on my external card so that it would load
the last package and I don't seem to have problems anymore.

brain dump n.: [common] The act of telling someone everything one knows
about a particular topic or project. Typically used when someone is going to
let a new party maintain a piece of code. Conceptually analogous to an
operating system core dump in that it saves a lot of useful state before an
exit. "You'll have to give me a brain dump on FOOBAR before you start your
new job at HackerCorp." See core dump (sense 4). At Sun, this is also known
as `TOI' (transfer of information).
