It's important to keep in mind that much of the value of calling something the "standard" library is so that users *know* that the libraries within are blessed by the language developers themselves, and therefore gives them the peace of mind that the code within is featureful, reliable, supported in the long-term, and well-known by the community. Please select a name that adequately expresses the authority of such a library.
