Hello all,

There is an annoyance when using both 'common-dylan' and 'format' (from io):

    use common-dylan, exclude: { format-to-string };
    use format;

In the old functional-dylan library, there was a key difference between it
and common-dylan.

They had a simple-format module, which exported format-to-string and
format-out and didn't export format-to-string from functional-extensions.

In common-dylan, there is a simple-io module which exports format-out, but
format-to-string is exported from functional-extensions.

I'd like to suggest that we:


   - Rename simple-io to simple-format
   - Stop exporting format-to-string from common-extensions
   - Start exporting format-to-string from simple-format


Thoughts?  Should this get a DEP?

 - Bruce
