I agree about coherence being desirable, but evolution tends to 
lead to the opposite. Just look at C++ streams vs iterators vs 
ranges vs ... Coherence is a good reason to have independent 
libraries that are replaced as a whole.

The standard library should primarily cover stable types you need 
to describe APIs. Then you can have other recommended independent 
libraries with no mutual dependencies.
