what to move to modules from base lib?

[michaellilltokiwa]

Things that are potentially better moved to separate modules:

• pipes
• bitset
• container.sorted_array
• container.hash_map
• container.Mutable_Linked_List
• container.mutable_tree_map
• container.ps_map
• container.ps_set
• num.fraction
• num.complex
• composition
• oneway_monad, state, handles etc.

@tokiwa-software/developers Your opinions?

I think the base module could still grow quite a bit, the module files are designed to be accessible efficiently even if large parts of the code are not used. I would like to see basic arithmetic, basic ADTs, threads and synchronization as part of the base lib. What I would split off are more complex functionalities, maybe network, security, graphics, json, xml, database, etc.

I think the primitives for doing networking etc. the rely on intrinsics should still be in base-lib. Other stuff that builds on top of this can be moved to modules.
