-- | A uniform base to build apps on
--   
--   Goals:
--   
--   <ul>
--   <li>reducing the complexity for the programmer of applications,</li>
--   <li>functions with identical semantics independent of
--   representation,</li>
--   <li>all functions are total (or become so using Maybe or Either),</li>
--   <li>compatible error reporting for all packages,</li>
--   <li>avoid name clashes with other packages and assume the regular
--   prelude,</li>
--   <li>performance is NOT a goal - once the program logic is confirmed
--   and tested, performance improvements can be achieved based on
--   observations</li>
--   </ul>
--   
--   The packages included here deal with
--   
--   <ul>
--   <li>a generally usable zero (null) value and other simplistic
--   algebras,</li>
--   <li>handling of text independent of represenations and principled
--   conversion between representations,</li>
--   <li>a minimal error reporting as text error messages,</li>
--   <li>bringing together functions to handle time,</li>
--   <li>uniform functions to handle files and filepaths (<a>Filepath</a>
--   and <a>Path</a>).</li>
--   </ul>
