Oh no, not this one. :-/
What about `omniscient' (you can even use the `c' from it), `outdated',
`omnivore', `omniparent', `omnipotent', `omnivag{e,us}'? ;)
What about the XEmacs elisp archives? They have got a packaging system,
too, which supports automatic package retrieval and installation (similar
to Perl). But it's a pity that some of the packages I consider essential
hardly work on XEmacs (some quail input methods were apparently never
tested on XEmacs 21.1.x, and ada-mode misses a few interesting features,
too).
