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