Good idea, but not yet. (read: I might actually have enough time to pretend
to maintain OasisOLC this semester, please let me sort out the pending
issues first.)

I haven't received too many (a few) questions on why MobProg support
doesn't work in OasisOLC (Hint: separate package) so I don't think it'd be
too bad.
My original plan was to have OasisOLC+GenOLC+Obuild together in one package
as an example of it but that hasn't worked out so well yet due to
time. Having a separate condition would be nicer.

It's "(on|off)-line creation" with subdivision. We figured they're similar
enough and could have overlap.

Except we typically don't capitalize and that would make the directories
rather sparse. We'll decide whether to split it later.

I find that to be a pain, because then you don't know quickly which version
you've downloaded without renaming the package or looking inside.

Online creation is also an area editor, why the preferential treatment?

We[*] are going to s/snippets/code/ and then move everything from
the-directory-formerly-known-as-'code' into the new hierarchy.
