+The path to the Zig standard library. The Zig |ftplugin| reads |g:zig_std_dir|
+and appends it to the 'path' for Zig files. Where the Zig standard library
+is located is system and installation method dependent.
+
+One can automatically set |g:zig_std_dir| using `zig env`: >
+
+	let g:zig_std_dir = json_decode(system('zig env'))['std_dir']
+<
+This can, for example, be put in a FileType |:autocmd| or user |ftplugin| to
+only load when a Zig file is opened.
