Looks interesting!

However, just one minor point:

These hierarchical names look rather strange.  Why "System" as a
base dir?  Wouldn't System.DotNet be perhaps more reasonable, ala
System.Posix for instance?

Also, for example, how do these submodules compare with the more
"obvious" locations:

    System.Array     Data.Array
    System.String    Data.String
    System.Xml       Text.XML

although, since they are .NET-specific, perhaps they belong down
another level, e.g.

    System.DotNet.Text.XML
