IMHO Monad (these are several modules), Exception, Concurrent and
Parallel indeed are all about the same thing: the order of computation,
program flow or control flow, imperativeness. If not Control, maybe
Execution or Computation.

Unique can perhaps be there too. This is (ab)using IO as a state monad.

Generics and Dynamic don't fit.
