As discussed in #3600, Pkg output always displays the parent package name next to the extension name. The naming from the current pkg docs example (
PlottingContourExt
) makes Pkg output super verbose, likePlotting -> PlottingContourExt
. Especially for longer package names, it can easily exceed typical line length.Here, I update the docs to show shorter nonredundant naming,
ContourExt
(leading toPlotting -> ContourExt
output). Many packages already follow this short naming, and presumably more will do if it becomes the official recommended way.
