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

[Shivkumar Chandrasekaran]

Hi Peter, Andrew, Edkso:

Thanks for the clear summaries and proposals. Just to clarify, I was   
only referring to the temporary (non-persistent) data. So, yes:  
newFile :: *File would be perfect. But from Andrew's description of  
the problem, it seems be non-trivial to implement, as ObjectIO would  
have to be modified too.

Thanks,
