"framework" word really is the point of conflict.
It is supposed to be a bad thing, you should prefer "libraries"!

That's what people say, but in reality people want a cohesive, 
framework-like experience, with all kinds of problems already 
solved and tutorial'ed before they get aware of the issue.

"library" experience is not cohesive enough and will even feel 
ugly to some.
Your library really is domain-specific after all.

That's what I discovered making Dplug, who has a few users. 
Promoting D was certainly not a goal, rather it was "using D 
because it's practical".
