Description

In this issue, I'd like to start prioritizing the standard library functions, so we can tackle the most important ones first.

I'm hoping to have people post something like this:

10 time.Now
4 strings.Join
1 filepath.Rel
...

Would be great to create a script that looks at the call expressions and counts them.

But for now, any format would be helpful and I can combine manually.

Research direction
Review the comments to see existing priorities and then post your own list of standard library functions you find most important, or help create a script to analyze call expressions.
