It's not that it's a bad idea, it's just that it would be problematic to 
implement. What if the behavior of parts of Phobos changes, and one part 
of the code depends on 1 library behavior, and another part depends on 
2? What if trying to accommodate both simultaneously is not practical? 
How to test all those combinations?
