As you possibly know, there's a hackathon ongoing in Vienna today and
tomorrow.  One goal is to factor out common stuff into a minimal biocore
library, which will:

 - avoid unneccessary incompatibilities (e.g. an index into a sequence is an
     Int64, and it is zero-based)
 - avoid code duplication (we don't all have to define 'data Strand =
     Plus | Minus')
 - reduce the number of dependencies (biocore will reexport some things)
 - reduce the number of dependencies (biocore will only have minimal deps)     

And more.  

There's an IRC channel, #codefest on freenode.org, if you have any
opinions, please drop by and give me (ketil) a heads-up.
