Library Report Omission

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

Reasonable suggstion, but I think it's too late to add new=20
functionality.  (Apart from anything else,
we'd have to get into whether it could be implemented portable on
all platforms.  And H98 is really very stable  now.)

But we'll add it to the new IO libraries that are coming up for
GHC/Hugs/nhc.
