Adding a DSEL library to the hierarchy

I'd prefer more discussion about when to make new root names, when to wedge
things into the existing hierarchy, and when to create new root names, under
which to add projects (e.g. DSEL).

I often have trouble figuring out where to put things in the hierarchy.  For
instance, type classes cut across classifications like Data vs Control.
That cross-cutting is what makes them so powerful.  For TV, I made a new
"Interface" root name.  It overlaps with Graphics.UI but is more general.
For DeepArrow, I used Control.Arrow.DeepArrow, although it's not about
"control" (just as monads or arrows are not about control).

I have doubts about whether module hierarchy is workable in general.  Maybe
we could come up with something better.
