So, why is the bundle syntax being tied into a particular package? > $ pear install PEAR#developer DB#mysql I wouldn't refer to installing only the mysql stuff from the DB package as a bundle. It seems the concepts of bundles and sub-packages are being mixed together. "#" is an excellent marker for sub-packages. Bundles should be referred to as packages and maybe have a special precursor indicating it's a bundle.
