Comment:

 It seems like the Backpack work addresses much of this by explicitly
 defining the publicly available interface of a package. Otherwise, the CPP
 approach proposed in comment:1 seems pretty reasonable to be.

 If someone wants to take up this task and see whether there is consensus
 around allowing multiple signatures then feel free to reopen this.
