I think "bindings" is an unfortunate choice of name for this package, as
it doesn't tell us anything about what it contains.
Looking at the code, I see:
* Bindings
o Bindings.Sqlite3
o Bindings.StandardC
o Bindings.Utilities
Which would traditionally be placed under, say,
Database.Sqlite3
and perhaps:
Foreign.C.Standard
but they'd be in separate packages.
Can you explain the rationale behind putting them in one large package,
rather than separate packages? And is there a more explanatory name than
"bindings"?
