It's one of the initiatives of the Rev Interoperability Project (RIP).

Back at the second-ever RevCon, held at a nice B&B in Monterrey, the 
attendees were discussing common handlers and found many of us had 
worked out the same solutions for ourselves for the same common tasks.

To minimize such duplication of effort for the future, Andre proposed 
that we might create a sort of StdLib for Rev as there is for C, a 
common library free for anyone to use which would hopefully save us all 
a little more time by providing some the more common handlers we use day 
to day.

Some time passed before it transformed from an idea into a library, but 
  this last winter Ken Ray and I were talking about our own respective 
libraries and found a lot of overlap.  A lot.  So we committed to 
collating some of those into a StdLib.rev, which premiered at the '08 
RevCon in Vegas.

We've posted it for review, comment, and additions, and it's been 
growing a bit since.
