I don't know if such string constructor would help here.  My change log
is maybe a bit misleading.  Most of the files changed are for
documentation and tests which require inevitably to be updated manually
for such interface change.

Some noise is introduced because now the canonical package full name
(with '@') is not a factor of the store file names anymore (which still
uses '-').  Maybe there can be some improvements on this side?

Finally, There is some code redundancy for the emacs UI but If I
remember correctly there is a reason for that. (Alex?)
