std::html::template	Context-aware HTML templates with auto-escape (text/attr/URL/JS). The context classifier is heuristic - sound for typical server-rendered responses but NOT a content-security-policy substitute; sanitize untrusted HTML fragments with a dedicated sanitizer.
std::http	HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 client and server. HTTP/2 negotiates via ALPN over TLS automatically (Go-style); h2c entry points are explicit.
std::http::chunked	RFC 7230 §4.1 chunked transfer-encoding reader and writer.

std::httptest	Loopback HTTP fixtures for source integration tests.
std::image	Opaque RGBA8 image handles with PNG and JPEG codecs.
std::io	Stream-oriented I/O abstractions and process standard streams.

std::net::url	Network URL parsing and component escaping; never use filesystem-path rules.
std::option	Data-last Option combinators for pipeline chaining: map, filter, unwrap_or, and_then, etc.
std::os	Operating-system identity.
std::os::exec	Deprecated compatibility facade for child processes; new code uses std::process.
std::os::signal	POSIX-style signal subscription (Go's os/signal shape).
std::os::user	POSIX user / group lookup. Unix-backed by nix; Windows falls back to env vars.
std::panic	Panic / catch_unwind integration.
std::path	Lexical filesystem-path operations; platform path grammar, no URL parsing or I/O.
std::process	Canonical process control and child-process API; std::os::exec is compatibility-only.
std::regex	Compiled regular expressions (Rust regex crate syntax; no backreferences or look-around).
std::result	Data-last Result combinators for pipeline chaining: map, map_err, unwrap_or_else, etc.

std::strconv	Conversions between strings and primitive numeric types.
std::strings	String operations.
std::sync	Synchronisation primitives beyond channels.

std::utf16	UTF-16 encoding/decoding and surrogate pair helpers.
std::utf8	UTF-8 validation and scalar decoding.
std::uuid	UUID v4 (random) and v7 (timestamp-ordered) generation, parse, and normalize.
std::validate	Trait-based field validation: implement Validate, collect FieldErrors into Errors.
