Default Rules: Libraries

How should we deal with golfing libraries when scoring entries?

Continuation of Is my extension-like library allowed to be used in answers?, the answer to that question seems to be a "yes", now we need to figure out how to score it.

Language + libraries count as a separate language

In the header of your entry, you should have something like this:

C (clang) + <libraries>, <byte count>

You do not need to include the library source in the byte count. However, you must include any import statements in the byte count, as it is considered source code.

Standard libraries are considered part of the vanilla language, and so do not need to be added to the language name.
