I am not preventing anyone from doing things how they want.  But don't  
ask me to do the work for other people's setups.  I don't use  
single-file libraries, so I don't see why I would be expected to  
maintain single-file libraries.

Like I said before, feel free to add whatever you need, just don't  
break what's there.
