I was pretty impressed with how a single `open Core.Std` line you can basically do the whole "tear out the standard library and replace with something nice" on a per-module basis. Unfortunately it has the side-effect of making small native binaries impossible, but depending on the project it's nice to have the choice.

fear not; support for module aliases in signatures will resolve that problem quite soon, and quite elegantly too.

That would be fantastic; looking forward to it.
