/** Clownfish::CFC::Parcel - Collection of code.
 *
 * A Parcel is a cohesive collection of code, which could, in theory, be
 * published as as a single entity.
 *
 * Clownfish supports two-tier manual namespacing, using a prefix, an optional
 * class nickname, and the local symbol:
 *
 *     prefix_ClassNick_local_symbol
 *
 * Clownfish::CFC::Parcel supports the first tier, specifying initial prefixes.
 * These prefixes come in three capitalization variants: prefix_, Prefix_, and
 * PREFIX_.
