The interfaces don't have, say, topsort as a builtin function, but the
papers describe how to implement it using the provided functions.

I don't think the papers measured against an imperative implementation,
but rather a functional array based on binary trees versus a functional
array based on version arrays. But I could be wrong and I don't have them
handy at the moment. Anyways, I'd like to do a version array version :-)
too in the future. It would be nice if there was a version array library
around; I've written some quick ones but I don't know how they compare
against some of the better ones. Lots of SML implementations around.

Beware of surmising too much based on some quick benchmarks.
