Huh? Where did that `Baron' come from?
But anyway... I don't have a strong opinion here, but
- I think that bytevectors go with other kinds of vectors more closely
than they go with strings
- I think we could benefit from discarding the Simple vs Compound
division - i.e. combine everything into a single `Data Types'
section. `Pairs' could be much nearer the top of the combined list
than it is now.
