Re: RFC 155 - Remove geometric functions from core

Yes, exactly.  I use module as a generic term for something other than the
main perl binary itself, a black box if you will.  The more modular we can
make perl, I think the easier it is for it to be ported or embedded or
whatever.  It is very easy to simply not install a "module" or write stub
functions, or even to add a new function.  It is not so easy to remove
things from "the core".  Note some of the deprecated features we've lived
with for years (such as EQ and friends).
