We don't document the behavior of arbitrary user-defined functions.
package_$pkgname() is only defined as having meaning in the context of
the PACKAGE SPLITTING section of the documentation.

IMHO this is us documenting that package() is the only correct function
unless ${#pkgname[@]} > 1.

I think it is far more intuitive to behave that way, and I'd actually be
willing to refuse to use package_$pkgname even if it is the only one...
