libcandrustixare crates we regularly add new interfaces from, but they're never likely to be completely replaced bystd. And they're good examples of a certain class of crates (comprehensive interfaces to large APIs), which is distinct from theitertoolsclass of crates (broad set of independently useful APIs that we're likely to evaluate and add individually).
