I'd prefer the last option eventually, but I doubt it would be useful to
anyone outside of darcs.  I would say it needs be with the Sealed module
since they really feed off each other and neither are strictly part of the
patch theory.

The reason Ordered is in there with the Patch stuff is that the only use we
have for those data types is to store patch sequences.  It grew up somewhat
organically there, but that doesn't mean it should stay.

In summary, I support moving this to be at the same level as Sealed, but I
don't think there is a rush to move it to an external library (it's also
still in flux at the moment).

Thanks for spoting that.
