Oh - OK - then I completely agree with you.  Those kinds of handy library
functions could be bundled into the PSL library with some kind of interface
to allow the application to selectively expose them:

    pslExposeStandardLibrary ( PSL_ALL_STANDARD_LIBRARIES ) ;

...or...

    pslExposeStandardLibrary ( PSL_STANDARD_IO_LIBRARY + PSL_SSG_WRAPPERS + PSL_SL_WRAPPERS ) ;

...then we could add new sets of library bindings and the application writer
could choose which he wishes to expose.

That's a really good idea.

No - it's probably just an oversight.  I'll look into it.
