Nonsense.  It already has dozens of standard libraries.

Nonsense.  We did what was convenient.  It is more convenient for writing
applications if nonportable interface are in OS-specific libraries.  As I
said, things with generic interfaces belong in generic libraries.  Few if
any new interface belong in libc itself, but that is a very minor technical
detail.
