If I may comment on "util", the problem is that it has been (in my experience) a catch-all for some common miscellaneous functionality that may be used to tie strings together in a project (error formatters, special strin g manipulation functions, helpers, etc). I don't believe that most of the functionality in current std classifies as such. For examples of this, check out the "util" namespaces in Java and Python projects; the current std is far more focused and useful for general use cases.
