I couldn't agree with this more--especially since our team may be bundling
and shipping down a stripped down interp to 10k+ managed servers to do
data collection and reporting. [BTW, love to hear any thoughts on
stripping to bare-bones interp with just needed modules/classes for
automated distribution.]

'stdlib' was a hasty mistaken word choice. Thanks for the
corrections. Originally, I meant more as in integration into popular test
and development tools (few of which I actually care to use personally,
preferring vim + macros + screen for remote pair programming in most all
languages we use). 

Thanks,
