Sorry, I don't see the point?  What's wrong with thousands?

There's no need for anything at all if you want to be reductionist :) 
The purpose of a standard library is to provide the behaviour you 
require as a programmer.  If you are writing a device driver, you don't 
need much.  If you are writing an all-singing all-dancing web doodah 
that needs persistence and all sorts of other stuff, then those are the 
things you need in your library.
