So is the cost of trying not to have an healthy set of libraries 
as part of the standard like the other programming languages. 
Thanks to the C tradition that the language library is the OS.

Thankfully, the standard is now catching up and will eventually 
cover a good set of use cases in the standard library.

However, there is code legacy code out there that doesn't know 
anything about ANSI standard revisions.
