gst could have an option to load a package, like ruby -r somelib does.

Also apparently, using packages requires to install them in some global
location first (or ~/.st) but it would be nice if packages could be
loaded from the current directory or from besides the image file too.

I attach that to VM but a 'tools' components would make sense for issue
tracking.

Yes, "gst -P Blah" could be useful.  I'm not sure of the semantics,
should it be the same as gst-load or gst-reload?

The image directory is supported too (not the current directory).  This
is used to load packages from the build directory when builddir !=
srcdir, for example, so it's not bitrotten definitely. :-)
