As much as I dislike it for CGI.pm, because it's slow and bloated, its
idea of :standard is very useful.
So my vote goes to putting almost nothing in ::, but having a simple
pragma or module to import a certain group of "standard" functions.
Without this pragma, methods should still work, IMO.
use Standard;
use standard;
use v6 :standard;
It would just do things like &::open ::= &IO::open, where the target is
the calling namespace only.
-e should imply this.
