One _ideal_ is to develop a consensus in the community for a FRP Signal 
library, one that is good enough that Grapefruit could use it.  (If the 
library is inherently Grapefruit-specific, do use 
Control.Signal.Grapefruit or Control.Grapefruit.Signal.)  Of course that 
ideal is not always possible, and best-library consensuses do change 
over the years -- but we've been doing it a lot anyway.
