Moving basic functions

[David Luposchainsky]

Hello everyone,

the discussion period for my proposal is now well over (started
2013-03-13), but there didn't seem to be much interest in it anyway,
probably due to the relatively small impact of changes proposed (moving
a couple of functions to more appropriate locations). As I am new to
this process, I'm not sure how to proceed; I could have let it died
without notice, but decided to send this final (?) notice.

Greetings,
David
