Just some decent *specifications* of what the prim is supposed to do, 
what side-effects are allowed/banned/needed, permissable failure cases, 
all that would be nice.

Consider the looseness of, for example, ioSetMode:fullscreen: (or 
whatever it's called). Not a fun prim to try to implement. Then there 
are a bunch of obsoletes to get rid of... sigh, a porter's job is never 
done.
