In general I agree with most things you've mentioned. Thank you for taking the time to write this :)
I especially agree with the `system` module changes, @amalek implies that this is going to be done for 1.0. As it stands right now, the [v1.0 milestone](https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/milestone/2) doesn't include this as an issue so this doesn't seem to be the case. It's possible that we will remember to perform these changes, but I think a better idea is to report them and ask us to add them to the 1.0 milestone. Otherwise there is a high chance we will release 1.0 and completely forget about such things (we are indeed really used to the status quo so it's becoming difficult to see the rough edges, since we just learned to avoid them). So yeah, please report these things.
