One could imagine a metapackage where using StandardLibrary
imports all the goodies (as Gabriel put it), and that wouldn't be too painful. Would it be possible to have it the other way around though, where all the goodies are imported unless you do something else like exclude StandardLibrary or julia --barebones That way the extra work falls to the presumably more experienced users who want more control, rather than the potential ex-MATLAB user who just wants to take an fft. Of course this only makes sense for the StandardLibrary, not for a world with many distributions.
