I'm exactly basing on them, but they don't have at least these things:
- Monad-mutable collections like MArray
- Instances of something like Assoc for arrays (arrays are
collections in some sense, after all)
- Treatment for unboxed types (I don't know yet, whether it is
needed; but why do STUArrays have special treatment then?)
It's not that I am in desperate need for these, but making the
already-good collection API even better sounds like fun :)
Actually, it started with me writing a monad-mutable hashtable and
thinking about what its interface should be, so probably I should just
upload the hashtable to hackage as is and look what comes next :)

Thanks, I'll have a look at these. Treating unboxed stuff polymorphically is anyways very interesting and would be good to use in collections API that has been recently discussed (and which I occasionally try to continue inventing with scarce success :-/ ).
does this mean that type classes from Edison and Container (Collection?) libraries are not good enough or you don't checked them?
