Implicit standard prelude

If we can agree that some <script> element variant imports * from "@std" implicitly as a standard prelude,

For backward compatibility and even convenience, it's necessary to have this implicit standard module. Assuming this is true, is there even a point at defining a standard module? When would one use it as a module instead of how using primordial as it is done today?

I'm also worried that a standard built-in module is something developer won't have control on. Specifically, how can they polyfill it if they need to?
