Pattern generation: consolidation

[ma-laforge]

It might be a good idea to consolidate all the pattern generation algorithms in a single (new?) package.

Relevant info: multi-package repos

We might want to consider clustering multiple packages in a single Git repository to avoid lengthening the validation/deployment process.

There are already facilities to store multiple Julia packages in a single Git repository - but I personally find the current solution a bit heavy/difficult to use whenever I've tried it.

Some info => JuliaLang/Pkg.jl#1422

Note, however that developments are being made in regards to this issue. Here are some example discussions:

• Feature request: Store multiple registered packages in a single Git repository JuliaLang/Pkg.jl#1251
• Feature request: scan subdirs for updated versions/projects JuliaLang/Pkg.jl#1874
• Proposal for allowing packages to opt-into import A.B only loading B without loading A. JuliaLang/Pkg.jl#2005

Some are closed, but they still might help provide context. I think the issues were often closed because they don't seem to be well enough defined to be implemented at the moment (or to convince developers the perceived problem is significant).
