Well, after giving it a second thought I decided against it. There's not 
a single right way to implement these functions, and so it should be up 
to the user. (In fact, your version of these functions considerably 
differs from the ones in the Haskell prelude.)

Great, thanks.

Is there any reason why the image generation stuff couldn't be done with 
Q? (Other than that you've already written it in Ruby, of course. I'm 
just curious whether there's something crucial missing in the Q library.)
