By all means write new libraries.  But this doesn't have to have anything
to do with the Haskell standard.  Plenty of people use functions from
Posix or GMP in C programs without needing them to be part of the ANSI
standard.   

The Haskell standard (including libraries) is already quite complicated
enough.  I repeat my call that it would be better to document what
we have than to add yet more badly-documented facilities.
