* IMO the sandbox and errortrace should stay in -- even if they're not<br>
needed, they are both intimately tied to the core so there wouldn't<br>
be any benefit from moving them to a package.<br>
<br>
* I think that it makes sense to move compatibility into its own<br>
package, and move the mzlib stuff into that same package.<br>
<br>
* Maybe the same for data?<br>
