Re: About time too

I was thinking more of, for example, importing/loading an entire library of string manipulation tools just to change one string to capital letters, without using any other tools. Depending on the language, that can be very cheap (only the needed function gets loaded) or very expensive (the entire library has to be downloaded and stored in memory to use a 5-line function).
