I think the builtin libraries for scripting languages should provide
"illusion" of portablility.  Feature set should not dangle in the wind
on each platforms.  So, we have to "polish" the abstract model for the
libraries, not separate them platform to platfrom, at least for basic
feature set.  I chose UNIX model, and it might be too close to UNIX.

I'm open to the opinion how to polish.
