I thought you agreed :)

Easier in that I don't have to make code from others compatible with my 
stdlib.
Yeah its nice to have an alternative, but I'd also want all available code 
to be compatible with it.
If I can choose the stdlib (leaving me the alternative) and everybody else 
would use the stdlib I'd chosen that would fix it as well :D
