Seems like a big trap; they will get bolted on after much of the std library is frozen without them.

Well then it would already be too late, since the std lib has been frozen since go1. As long as things are added in a backwards compatible way, there's no problem though.

Plus, something of this magnitude may need to be in a theoretical go2, so they can break whatever needs to be broken.
