Hello-c is fine with me.

Got me. I haven't had time to think about it yet. Do you suppose there are 
other projects that would use it?

Maybe added to cells makes most sense. I'm not too crazy of the idea of a 
separate module for utilities. We each have our own such collection and I'd 
like to add a few of mine wherever they are useful.

In my thinking, a module ought to support a bounded, well-defined purpose -- 
either as a component of a system or as a set of operations on a single kind 
of object. Utilities aren't like that.
