+This package (ab)uses the inline enumeration capabilities of `enumitem` to add
+a « displayed » enumeration mode, triggered by adding `gathered` to the key-val
+option list of the `enumerate` environment. The end result is similar to a
+regular `enumerate` environment wrapped in a `multicols` environment, with the
+following advantages:
+
+* gathered enumerate can pack items depending on their actual width rather than
+ a fixed, constant number per line.
+* gathered enumeration fills items in a line-major order (instead of
+ column-major order), which my students found less confusing. YMMV.
