Description
In the Julia backend, I used the same code as the C/CPP backend to handle intrinsic modules, but the generated Julia code includes many more intrinsic function definitions, compared to C/CPP.
I am investigating this.

Research direction
Compare the Julia backend's intrinsic-module handling with the C/CPP backend, focusing on why generated Julia code contains additional intrinsic function definitions. The issue names no files or tests; done means identifying and removing the unnecessary Julia intrinsic definitions so the output matches the intended C/CPP behavior.
