Indeed, I think `stdlib` should have fast implementation of Fortran intrinsics, maybe not all, but those that we can make faster, so that compilers like LFortran could use them. I proposed exactly that in [Fortran runtime math library](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/fortran-runtime-math-library/755). I think back then it wasn’t received as beneficial, but maybe now is a better time. 🙂
