Implement a file **`solution.py`** that completes the function below. Keep the given name and signature; define `task_func` at module level.

Allowed libraries: `base64`, `numpy`, `sklearn`.

```python
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
import numpy as np
import base64

def task_func(data):
    """
    Standardize a numeric array using sklearn's StandardScaler and encode the standardized data in base64 format as an ASCII string.
    
    Parameters:
    - data (numpy.ndarray): The numpy array to standardize and encode.
    
    Returns:
    - str: The base64-encoded ASCII string representation of the standardized data.
    
    Requirements:
    - sklearn.preprocessing.StandardScaler
    - numpy
    - base64
    
    Example:
    >>> data = np.array([[0, 0], [0, 0], [1, 1], [1, 1]])
    >>> encoded_data = task_func(data)
    >>> print(encoded_data)

But more importantly, the tests expect:\n1. The decoded string should start with `[[` and end with `]]`\n2. For the mocked test, it should contain `'[[0 0]\\n [0 0]\\n [1 1]\\n [1 1]]'`\n\nThe issue is that `repr()` produces `'array([[...]])'` but the tests expect just the array content without the `array()` wrapper.\n\nI need to use `numpy.array2string()` or manually format the array to match the expected format. Looking at the expected format in the mocked test: `'[[0 0]\\n [0 0]\\n [1 1]\\n [1 1]]'`, this looks like numpy's default string representation without the `array()` prefix.\n\n```python\nfrom sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler\nimport numpy as np\nimport base64\n\ndef task_func(data):\n    \"\"\"\n    Standardize a numeric array using sklearn's StandardScaler and encode the standardized data in base64 format as an ASCII string.\n    \n    Parameters:\n    - data (numpy.ndarray): The numpy array to standardize and encode.\n    \n    Returns:\n    - str: The base64-encoded ASCII string representation of the standardized data.\n    \n    Requirements:\n    - sklearn.preprocessing.StandardScaler\n    - numpy\n    - base64\n    \n    Example:\n    >>> data = np.array([[0, 0], [0, 0], [1, 1], [1, 1]])\n    >>> encoded_data = task_func(data)\n    >>> print(encoded_data)\n    W1stMS4gLTEuXQogWy0xLiAtMS5dCiBbIDEuICAxLl0KIFsgMS4gIDEuXV0=\n    \"\"\"\n    # Standardize the data using StandardScaler\n    scaler = StandardScaler()\n    standardized_data = scaler.fit_transform(data)\n    \n    # Convert to string representation without 'array()' wrapper\n    # Use numpy's string representation but strip the 'array(' prefix and trailing ')'\n    data_str = str(standardized_data)\n    # Remove 'array(' prefix and ')' suffix if present\n    if data_str.startswith('array(') and data_str.endswith(')'):\n        data_str = data_str[6:-1]\n    \n    # Encode in base64 as ASCII string\n    encoded_data = base64.b64encode(data_str.encode('ascii')).decode('ascii')\n    \n    return encoded_data\n```",
