Sure, but who is going to do the work?

BTW, we did come up with our librarian (it's built in to dmd) and it works great 
- enabling simple, smooth handling of libraries in a way that no other similar 
language does. Notice, though, there are 4 completely distinct code bases to 
support it, for the 4 main platforms. The librarian is a simple program, but 
linkers are much more complex.
