Do you have a suggestion for a better name than pure-base? pure-unreal-world, as there is no notion of the RealWorld# state token ;-)?
You know, finding identifiers is one of the most difficult problems in computer science. The first names that come to my mind are all negating, like base-non-io, base-non-monadic (but I think Control.Monad could be part of the package). I'd prefer a positive name, since I think non-IO code should be the normal case in Haskell and I/O the exception. base-basic, base-simple, base-plain, base-core, base-tame, base-gentle (won't launch dangerous things) - I don't know.
