Don't know if we need this. For example, for all the
SummarizedExperiment use cases I ran into, the end-user generally
only needs to load the corresponding high-level package (DESeq2,
VariantAnnotation, minfi, GenomicAlignments, etc...) and that takes
care of loading all the low-level infrastructure packages.
