Probably not very surprising, I'm +1 on disentangling OpenGL and StateVar. :-) Regarding the actual package name and the module name: I don't feel very strongly about that, although inventing yet another package/module name (it would be the third one!) might confuse people even more. There is the StateVar package on Hackage already, and we should have a very good reason to ignore that fact. "I don't like that name" doesn't count IMHO, because this is a personal opinion and doesn't outweigh the confusion introduced by yet another naming scheme. Nevertheless, if that's the price one has to pay to get it into the Haskell Platform, I won't object. Regarding the actual content: I recently added a Functor instance for GettableStateVar (https://github.com/haskell-opengl/OpenGL/commit/3826a63d), but instances for Applicative and Monad should probably be added, too. WDYT?
