StdLib2/Intro

-The MiniD standard library is meant to be a set of functionality that will be useful to most or all programs written in MiniD.  Some of the standard library is essential for using some of MiniD's features.  The [wiki:StdLib2/BaseLib base library] (and its sub-modules, the [wiki:StdLib2/ModuleLib modules library] and the [wiki:StdLib2/ThreadLib thread library]) is guaranteed to always exist and provides access to some features of the language that would not be otherwise accessible.  In addition, arrays, tables, and namespaces have '''`opApply`''' defined for them by their respective libraries (the [wiki:StdLib2/ArrayLib array] and [wiki:StdLib2/HashLib hash] libraries) so that you can use `foreach` loops on them.

-Some of the functionality in the base library has been moved into the module and thread libraries.  They are still guaranteed to be loaded, however.
-
-The table library has become the hash library and its scope has been extended to include namespaces.  Some functions that used to be in the base library have migrated into here instead.
-
-The IO library has been separated into an "unsafe" portion (that which deals with the file system) and a "safe" portion (the stream classes themselves).  The unsafe functionality remains in "io", and the safe functionality has been moved into "stream".
-
-Similarly, the safe time-related functionality that used to be in the OS library has been moved into the safe "time" library.
