ideally the whole point of a standard library is to collect things almost everyone will have to do sooner or later and almost nobody will do exactly right, and do them right for you so you don't have to so ofc a standard library is itself a hard thing nobody gets exactly right

The only string thing I ever get right the first time is to use the library's buffer object instead of the + operator. The regular expressions usually look pretty good by the 20th try.
