Actually, opening and closing a bundle works for me.  Another
possibility would be to use the verbs "bundle" and "unbundle", but
that changes the meaning too much, I think.

That sounds like we're adding another layer on the outside of an
onion.  If you wrap it too many times, it won't smell as nice.  ;-)
