[clean-list] Wish list =+ New *World

[Shivkumar Chandrasekaran]

But this still requires that an extra *File parameter be threaded  
down from Start to the local call site. I still don't see why we  
couldn't (well I guess I could using C functions?) have a  
createFiles :: *Files call that returns a blank nameless partition  
from the FileSystem? This would be very convenient for any systems  
programming task requiring functional access to /tmp......
