I'm all in favor of improving the standard library, but...
1) I agree that such a project will be most useful if there is some
kind of strong unifying vision
2) I suggest looking at the SML Basis Library for ideas -- the people
that designed it thought a *lot* about consistent naming and such.
(In fact, would it be a bad idea just to *copy* the SML basis APIs
verbatim?)
3) I question whether this is actually the most-needed thing... see
next message...
