Signal processing is always a great area for a library.  Even using 
library functions signal processing is complicated and *no one* has time 
to write the basic signal processing code if they don't have to.  The 
only limiting factor in a signal processing library is that relatively 
speaking, there would be few users.  It's no every day you need signal 
processing for code you are writing.

I agree a bit with Hugh in that I've always wondered why there aren't 
basic array defining words.  I ended up with my own library which 
posters here helped me develop.  Writing that was a useful exercise and 
I learned a few things, but I don't see why that library isn't out there 
already.  I expect apps that don't need arrays are few and far between.
