Wow, that might be the worst name for a project I’ve ever seen. I think every programmer who sees this is going to assume it’s a Python thing.
With regards the library itself —- I think it’s generally known the c++ standard library is a poorly designed mess in places but if you make an entirely new one you lose all the software already written, at which point why use C++ nowadays?

Only if using classical headers, std as module is already a reality on VC++.

Given what is discussed in the commentary to the post, I wonder whether the author would be amenable to some Doxygen.

Love to see someone implementing pathlib in c++. It is what stdfs could have been.

Would be helpful to show how this compares to other C++ std replacements, e.g. Abseil and Folly.
