Yes, in hindsight it seems much more convenient to have this in the
prelude. So I'm all for this change, but it's going to break existing
code. :( Does anyone object to this?

Hmm, these functions are there so that the library doesn't break if you
want/need to remove clib from the prelude. That should still be
possible, although I haven't checked it for a while. So I'd rather keep
them where they are. Any specific reason why you want them removed,
other than tidyness?
