Surely, at bare minimum, there must be something included in core to
allow things that are not in core to be easily installed, the
equivalent of what CPAN.pm is for Perl5 (hopefully even better, and
hopefully without dependencies on external non-Perl things like gcc).
I could live with very little else in core, but the means to install
whatever is not in core is essential; that's the thing that allows
everything else to be made optional -- because it can be installed
easily enough.
Oh, and here's me resisting the urge to suggest that use ought to
automatically install from the CPAN anything that isn't present, as a
core behavior right out of the box.
