:: A note about the unevenness: I'm quite sure that the other categories will grow. Especially I'd be surprised if in the long run, the GUI category (which at the moment is ''very'' small) will not be one of the biggest categories.

== Regrouping? ==
 
Would it make sense to combine many of those file-system kinda things into a single task? In many languages, testing for the existence, readability and size of a file uses effectively the same mechanism/s (E.G. in TCL it would be "file exists $fname" and "file readable $fname" and "file size $fname" etc). I'm not sure it really warrants a "category" if most(?) languages will deliver the answers to all these questions by invocation of the same underlying mechanism. (In IDL you'd call result=file_info(fname) and the result is a structure with elements "result.exists" and "results.read" and "result.size" and so forth; thus all of these are the same task and you simply look at a different elements in the returned structure).
