We'll have to decide whether we implement these and tie them to web APIs or make calling the web APIs explicit.

I would prefer to have our platform abstraction layer (i.e. liblumen_core/sys delegate to Web APIs transparently (where possible) to implement built-ins, it would still be possible for one to call Web APIs directly, but in general we'll need to support the BIFs anyway in order to support legacy code/arbitrary packages off Hex.
