The overhead is not that it should be a module, but rather, 
the sillily/evilly inefficient thing that *you* are doing.  
Or trying to do.

We have modules to do this.  We have hashes to do this.  
We have the technology.  It is ignored.  Ignorance of
technology is no excuse for adding strange basic types
and operations on them into the very heart of a programming
language.
