"import simple_mail_transport_protocol_lib".

People who are familiar with Extensible Markup Language abbreviate it "xml".
People who are familiar with electronic mail abbreviate it "email".  And
people who are familiar with the concept of a database abbreviate it "db".
Why are two right for the stdlib (sorry, "standard library" :), and the other
wrong?
