I use a little bit PDL at home, although much more Python and R at work.

Regarding this PDLA vs PDL thing, is it possible to improve the present PDL
distribution, like splitting the "non-core“ modules out? I think people
knows more PDL than PDLA, like I never heard of PDLA before. It would be
best if you can keep the namespace of "PDL", maybe bump it to V3 if there
be breaking changes?

Regards,
Stephan
