********************
The standard library
********************

This chapter documents the ABS standard library.  All definitions,
except where noted otherwise, are contained in the module
``ABS.StdLib``.

The module ``ABS.StdLib`` is included by default in every module.
Therefore, no ``import`` statement is necessary to use these
definitions.  Note that if a module explicitly imports some
identifiers from ``ABS.StdLib``, only those identifiers will be
available.
