Thought it might!  I'll only check them into the main branch.

Erm... [looks sheepish].  I have got test cases, but they're not in
test suite form.  I'll make the necessary changes.

For the main branch or the release?!  I'd also like to change
std_util__cons into a func - nobody uses it anywhere in the library or
the compiler or the extras and I've written `func(X, Xs) = [X | Xs]'
enough times that it's a pain.  Otherwise I can add a func version,
although this often causes annoying ambiguity problems with the
compiler.
