It's "neither here nor there". I threw it out there as an option. I may 
develop my library to stand beside the ISO library and you may develop 
yours to sit on top of it. There is no one best way to do it all the 
time. Way too much emphasis by programmers is put on, "well, someday I 
may want to deploy on... therefore, THE standard library is the best 
choice". There's usually enough stuff to worry about without bringing in 
POTENTIAL stuff to worry about.

I don't think so. Surely I've been saying "in alternative to".

> Now you're layering on top.

Nope. YOU may have wanted to though, but I'm not sure that doing so 
wouldn't have compromised the design. I may want to target, e.g., 2 
platforms, Windows and Unix, and create a framework that talks to those 
platforms' system-level APIs and ignore ISO std lib entirely.

That is but one set of requirements, surely contrived to "show" that the 
ISO standard library is "best". Some do argue that the ISO standard 
library, is best everywhere and all of the time, when that is, of course, 
either naivete or BS.
