It's currently only used in those, and in the application we have been 
hacking on this weekend. But it would be much more work fixing this at a 
later point if more people start using it. It also makes it more 
readable in the application that uses it since it's clear that it's an 
external library.

Anyway, just raising my concerns that we should make new libraries as 
good as possible.
