I think the Prelude is our equivalent here.
base itself is fundamental stuff, plus what we use a lot.

If the proposal is that nothing new be added to base, that needs
to be done separately. And a case made for why what we have
at the moment is fundamental, excluding all else.
Remember, this is not a discussion about whether things are to be
added to base -- we did that a year ago, and the library process is
the result.
