What's the policy on adding large directory trees of experimental code to 
existing libraries like base?

Some obvious options:

1) Go right ahead - no need to mark it specially

2) Go right ahead but be sure to use an X prefix to warn people - we'll delete 
the X once it is finalized.

3) It'd be better to do the development in a separate library tree
    such as fptools/libraries/newmonads.

   a) And give it a name like Unsafe.Control.Monad.Cont
   b) And give it a name like Org.Diatchki.Control.Monad.Cont
   c) And give it a name like Control.Monad.Cont

I lean towards either (1) or (3) and can't decide between 3a/b/c.

(3) seems most in keeping with the push for a library infrastructure.
