Such a routine would be a wrapper around an API call and is thus relatively easy to create, upon the author doing a little research and testing.
Do we not wrap any other API calls in the standard libs or as built-ins?
Yes. Sockets, sound(), message box support, etc...

Is one of the considerations of routine inclusion whether or not users can do it themselves with a little research and testing?
Yes.
Of course, there are other considerations (how generic is the routine, how often is it likely to be used, is it easy to do wrong, etc).
