basically those defined in the awkward POSIX, for example: chmod, chown, exec, crypt, sleep etc, but also things like abs, acos, ceil. The compatibility for those currently top-level ones would be provided by means of variables of function type, I suppose. In my opinion, such a module (and an accompanying WIN32, WIN64 etc. ones) would greately clean the namespace up while, automatically, providing a direct manpage/help/doc -> module mapping for a function sought by a programmer.

Ok, so the point with this POSIX module would be not only to add it with a bunch of functions, but also to remove a bunch of functions elsewhere? Which functions would that be?
