@niconiconi imo a language spec should define only the language syntax. Nice-to-have libraries are no different than anybody else's code written in that language.

The only reason you ever needed to define a standard library for C (or C++) and its behavior is because companies were selling language implementations without library source code. If your syntax spec is solid and your compiler is correct, then you just need to provide library source code and everyone will get the same behavior.
