Probably they have separated POSIX dependent functions into modules.
In contrast Ruby took all-in-one approach, so that some kind of POSIX
emulation layer is required on non POSIX platform (including mobile
devices).  The Ruby approach is useful (no clumsy list of imports),
but not the best for small devices.
