Yeah, the distinction between Control and Data is often borderline. Also, I've just recalled that Control.Unification also uses the Control namespace, although I don't see any rationale behind that. It's not that important anyway. > I'm not amazingly strong at building more principled interfaces right now, > so I guess that's something I'll improve on.

I'll see if I can sketch something in the next couple of days.
