Your meaaages snip a lot of context.

I said in a couple of messages earlier that the location of std modules may be known only after the compiler binaries are packages and delivered. So, that is way after it was built. The compiler doesn't know where it is going to reside when it is delivered. CL.exe for instance has no fogging clue, but the packager knows. In the prior experimental std.* modules, CL.exe has to be told where those BMIs are.

The higher level point is: insisting that only the compiler knows is just wrong.

Huh?
Isn't that negating what we just said?
When the compiler was built didn't know...

I'm not sure I understand what you mean
