Like before, where I didn't know a *-cvs version exists, I often don't know a
PROVIDES exist either until I happen to cast some spell that depends on a
PROVIDES. If we were to take your approach, I would generalize it with
something like:
> cast mozilla
Mozilla provides MOZILLA-BROWSER which is also provided by:
0) mozilla
1) Firebird
2) galeon2
Which would you like to use? (0)
(I've seen something similar to this in a spell... was it MPlayer?)
Anyway, the point being that having the different "versions" of spells in one
spell makes me aware of the various options. Having to cast a PROVIDES to
get the list means I need to be aware of the PROVIDES so it doesn't resolve
my particular gripe.
