Perhaps > "extended" or "full-featured"? I just chose the one which I found in the distribution README. I think that "standard" is intended here in the sense of "standardization process", which is one of the thing batteries is trying to do, rather than in the "legacy" sense. But yeah, I understand your perplexity, help is much appreciated both in the short and in the long description :) As a starting point for the latter I was considering once more the README, which states: Batteries Included serves the following purposes: * define a standard set of libraries which may be expected on every compliant installation of OCaml * organize these libraries into a hierarchy of modules, with one source of documentation * define a standard set of language extensions which may be expected on every compliant installation of OCaml * provide a consistent API for otherwise independent libraries.
