In every language, I'm a big fan of *well curated, language community
supported* standard libraries. If it's well thought out, easy to use,
easy to document, and mostly bug free, I like the idea.

It's *very* important that any standard library be well curated. This
means not everything goes in the standard library, just stuff that
works, works well, makes programming easier, and is relatively bug
free. Therefore I think the standard library should most likely be a
subset of the library additions.

In summary, if you make it easier for me to learn and use Vim9script,
I'm a huge fan. I might even rewrite VimOutliner in Vim9script, because
truth be told, the old Vimscript was, in my opinion, horrible.
