Sorry, you do not understand the meaning of "first class". You mean "included in the standard library". First class is as in first class functions, ie you can assign them to variables.

And for a second I was excited by first class transactions.

Yes, you are of course correct. I was using the term to mean "built in and part of the language"

Thanks for the correction!
