What does "implement that as a library" actually mean?

Does it mean that a Phobos module could be written that defines a struct
template (presumably) that holds the data and implements opAssign, etc...
to issue a message if required. I assume it could do some limited
compile-time value tests so it doesn't always have to issue a message.
