I'm not sure if it'll be worth the trouble now that we have cl-lib (before, with cl.el most of its list functions were out of reach, because cl.el could not be used at run-time, but this problem doesn't plague cl-lib). > * A string manipulation library > * A math library (maybe Calc is enough?) > * A hash library (implements a common interface to different secure hash > algorithms.) > * A time access and conversion library > * A logging facility library > * The long lost concurrency and FFI libraries > * An I18N library All sounds fine. For some of them, we already have a file for them (e.g. time-date.el). The main problem is for functions which would most naturally end up in subr.el: since subr.el is preloaded, we'd rather put there only functions which are very likely to be used. Stefan
