It occured to me, that "1) Subpatches" already have a different name
which IMO is a much better name for the concept realized: "page".
Maybe I'll use [page whatever] from now on in my patches. It's a
better name because subpatches aren't patches themselves, but parts of
a patch much like objects. Like pages in a book, sub"pages" are used
to collect and organize content, that doesn't fit on one page alone.

(Embedded abstractions may be called subpatches then, but it's too
late for that.)
