Although I still think the potential confusion is minimal, I'll 
participate in the discussion to come up with alternatives.

"Bundle" might be OK, but it weakens the meaning of the "open" and 
"closed" modifiers.  You open a closed package to make changes to it, 
then close it again to avoid making accidental changes.  Opening a 
closed bundle doesn't have the same ring.  Maybe that's OK anyway.

Maybe "wrap" the bundle?  Oops, that might conflict with context and 
security wrappers.
