 I personally don't like how this works.  If we add this feature, I would
 like it to only happen when explicitly told to wtf(6).  For example:
 
 	wtf -t pkg perl
 
 and treating 'pkg' as a special type (instead of looking for an
 acronyms.pkg file).
 
 But even if doing this... wtf is meant to translate *acronyms*, while
 most package names are not.  Therefore, this functionality doesn't
 belong here.
 
 If this change was motivated by your original 'wtf is perl' attempt,
 just try 'wtf -t comp perl' and you'll get what you were looking for ;)
 
 Cheers,
