Proposed Structure

Here is a tentative but concrete structure from which to work. It's not yet exhaustive. If you see core procedures missing, please add them to a suitable library.

Note that queues, memory-mapped-files, binary-search and object-evict have already been evicted (heh) from core and into eggs (see #1142). Please don't add their procedures.
