Hi Erik,

Well, I looked at the existing ones, and none of them seemed to be  
exactly the right thing.  I propose a project called "misc- 
extensions".  It will be in the public domain.

If you please, I would also like to establish a second project called  
FSet.  This is a much more substantial project I have been working on  
for some time.  It is a high-performance set-theoretic functional  
collections package.  It will be LLGPL.

Why two projects?  FSet uses the macros I am proposing to put into  
misc-extensions, but I think the latter may be more widely useful,  
and as you see, I want to license them differently.  If you don't  
want to create two projects, though, I could be persuaded to combine  
them.

For SCM, let's go with darcs.

My GPG key is attached.
