Well, if we're looking for a champion, I suggest these two should be 
added. Both serve demonstrated needs, both are easy to support, and both 
are reinvented over and over again. Because of that reinvention alone, 
it'd be nice to canonize a library in order to minimize wasted efforts.

(If anyone has complaints about bytestring-trie I'd be more than happy 
to hear of and address them.)
