... and this is one of the great flaws of the base package.

Because of such non-standard extensions, the 'base' package API is  
_not_ universally available across all compilers.  I strongly believe  
that 'base' is a misnomer, and we should consider hiding 'base'  
altogether, and creating a 'real-base' package that is (a) compliant  
to the language standards, (b) contains no compiler-specific modules  
or functions.
