It also means that there's a possibility that the most recommended
module for tasks such as recursively searching directories for files
will have a decent interface.  I really don't want to see the first
attempt at any kind of interesting module stick around forever in the
core for the sake of backwards compatibility.

I'd like to see what kind of idioms develop, for one.
