Is it necessary to remove Data.FiniteMap quite so soon?  It has only
been deprecated since ghc 6.4.0, and the replacement (Data.Map) has only
been available (with some bugs) since 6.4.0.

I like my software to continue to work with older versions of ghc (such
as 6.2.2).  But currently, there is no way I can support both ghc-6.2.2
and ghc-6.4.x using a single API - it would require #ifdef'ing around
both the old Data.FiniteMap calls, and the new Data.Map.
