    (*
       [argv ()] returns the command line strings of the current process.
       Hence List.nth(argv (), 0) is the command used to invoke the SML
       process, List.nth(argv (), 1) is its first argument, and so on.
       We recommend using the SML Basis Library CommandLine structure instead.

       [time f arg] applies f to arg and returns the result; as a side
       effect, it prints the time (cpu, system, and real time) consumed by
       the evaluation.

       [listDir path] returns the list of all files and subdirectories of
       the directory indicated by path.  Raises OS.SysErr in case of failure.

       [doubleVec r] returns an eight-element vector of Word8.word, which
       contains the real number in the IEEE 754 floating-point `double
       format' bit layout stored in big-endian (high byte first) order.

       [vecDouble v] accepts an eight-element vector v of Word8.word, and
       returns the real number obtained by taking v to be an IEEE 754
       floating-point `double format' number stored in big-endian (high
       byte first) order.  Raises Fail if v is not en eight-element
       vector.

       [floatVec r] returns a four-element vector of Word8.word, which
       contains the real number in the IEEE 754 floating-point `float
       format' bit layout stored in big-endian (high byte first) order.
       Raises Fail if r is not representable as a 32-bit float.

       [vecFloat v] accepts a four-element vector v of Word8.word, and
       returns the real obtained by taking v to be an IEEE 754
       floating-point `float format' number stored in big-endian (high
       byte first) order.  Raises Fail if v is not a four-element vector.

       [md5sum s] computes the 128-bit MD5 checksum of string s and
       returns it as a 22 character base64 string.

       [run cmd args inp] executes the program cmd with command-line
       arguments args and standard input inp.  Returns Success s where s
       is the program's (standard and error) output as a string, if it
       executed successfully; otherwise returns Failure s where s is its
       (standard and error) output as a string.
