My fault for starting this :)
I can see that over time a balance between lang and math would occur. If
lang.math had too much in [ie) is Range really common enough etc etc] then
it would deprecate in favour of [math].
Ditto for [text]. If we include Word* stuff now, then later when [text] is
Yes, I think its better to wait until [math] has matured before making
any decisions about what to keep in lang and what to depricate. I really
think your point about not holding code back is a valid and powerfull
statement. We have plenty of future to work through the details of
consolidation
