Description

When the FLS was first written, only the alloc and core libraries were in scope. This was intentional, as alloc and core are OS-agnostic, and are very tightly coupled with the language semantics. std is another story.

We can either keep it the same way but start writing down somewhere which std-related items were not included in the FLS (in case we want to include them later), or start introducing std items into the FLS.

I think this needs a higher level discussion.
