Yes. It’s not official policy, but I think we should avoid mutually
recursive module imports when we have a choice.

Yes, the should probably be moved. It’s also very easy to miss them
when doing mass upgrades, hidden among all these CRAN packages.

I think it’s fine to keep statistics.scm even when it’s small. R and
pspp *are* stats packages after all, so this module remains the perfect
location for them.

I’d like to avoid moving anything *to* python-xyz.scm, because it’s a
bit of a dump. I think it’s fine to just focus on the R packages for
now and address the rest later — if at all.
