Hi,
Please look at
http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/collections/doc/html/Data-Collections.html
for an effort to make most common operation on bulk types fit in a
single framework.
Also, we expect indexed types to solve, or at least alleviate, some
problems you mention in your "rant".

I think the LANGUAGE pragma is better than the OPTIONS_GHC pragma but
I am relatively indifferent on that issue. My only point is that
module authors should put this information in the module source rather
than in the build system.

In theory, Haskell modules should contain all information necessary to
interpret/compile them properly. In practice, many modules don't because their
authors are flagging required language extensions in build systems rather than
in module sources. This practice causes problems because then it
Haskell.org is currently looking rather short of student proposals for
Summer of Code 2007 compared to last year. If you haven't yet thought
about submitting an application, why not consider it now? You could be
