I think this may be controversial.  In particular, there's already
Data.Edison, which is competing, and some people feel strongly that a
class-based approach to overloading should be at least supported.

I think this might be a good case for having a 'selector' library.
Put DData under Data.DData.*, and have Data.Set (e.g.) re-export
Data.DData.Set (since that's the most complete implementation at the
moment).
