Will the standard library of C++ contains networking, string algorithms,... in future?

I had to start using C++ in my work and actually, I started to like it. And thanks to Scott Meyers's books it is not that hard to get into it. But I hate the lack of features (not) contained in the standard library. Will there be a similar set of functions like (for example) in the D's Phobos library (https://dlang.org/phobos/) in future?

Why there are no methods for working with strings, JSON, TCP/IP, features for dealing with arrays? I already found some papers about networking and so on, http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/experimental. But will these features actually get into the STL standard library? If so - when?

Note: I'm aware of Boost framework. Are there any discussions about merging it into the standard library?
