<div> </div>
<div>ah, of course that makes sense.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>> with multi-binary style I can do [declare -lib foo/bar] whereas with the single-binary style that won't work.</div>

<div>I'm not sure I understand. Can give an example?</div>

</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Here's the probable reason-- current practice is aimed at the maximally complicated library which has a makefile that allows it </div>
<div>to be built both as a single binary *or* with one class per binary. In that case you must have uniquely-named setup functions </div>
<div>per class that can be called from a central library setup.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Which I suppose would make more sense *if* the developer's choice of single- or multi-binary style was merely an </div>
<div>implementation detail. But even with your patches it isn't-- with multi-binary style I can do [declare -lib foo/bar] whereas with </div>
<div>the single-binary style that won't work.</div>
