- I think the creation of a tool collection at this point is not great
because there will be lots of tools that are not in it.

- "tool" has often been a synonym for "drracket plugin" and the future
visualizer is not a drracket plugin.

(I see some merit in trying to find a name for a collection having to
do with performance related tools, but "tool" is the wrong name for
that collection since it is too generic of a name.)
