Comment (by simonpj):

 I'm also a bit concerned about creating lots of tiny packages.  Maybe we
 can do this a step at a time?

 If, indeed, we need do anything at all.  What is the Main Goal here?  Who
 is pushing for further decomposition of 'base', and what gains does it
 bring?  Are these gains the most important thing to spend our limited
 effort budget on?  There are plenty of other pressing issues! (Untying the
 mutual recursion is good regardless of further break-up.)

 Simon
