Indeed, you asked whether there's a reason it's not in the stdlib, and
the bunch of answers you got is the stdlib really doesn't need it, so
it's not there.

Maybe some of them were rash enough to also claim that *you* don't
really need it, but that's sort of off topic in this thread---just
ignore them and use the recipe you find most useful!<wink/>
