The standard library is injected, opinionated, and documented through api.json—not a grab bag of copy-pasted helpers.
Corelib: batteries with opinions
The corelib package is not “stdlib.zip you found on a forum.” The compiler injects it, the runtime backs part of it, and pckg serves the rest as a normal package—with registry-assigned versions so nobody plays semver theatre in Project.proj.
If you expected a monolithic System.IO graveyard, adjust expectations now.
