Having all these extra modules seems like too much structure for not
much gain. Also "Prelude.Standard" is ambiguous: which standard?
Instead, I suggest Prelude.Haskell98 for the Haskell98-compatible
prelude (in the haskel98 package, of course).
I'm agnostic about whether we strip the Prelude down to the absolute
minimum, or just remove some of the more less-used things.
Cheers,
Simon
