I'd be happy to suggest that a standard Ada library should include a
hierarchy with simple as the topmost member for simple libraries.

e.g.
simple.socklib
simple.fileio
simple.console

I suppose raw stuff would either go into the system hierarchy or one could
add a new hierarchy. I assume that such a hierarchy would conain all the
gory details. I would name such a hierarchy raw.

Other parts of the library would use the information in the raw hierarchy
and perhaps export a sanitized interface to the user.

e.g.
raw.ctypes
raw.sockets
raw.fileio
