Yeah, that could be bad. On the other hand, we have a whole group of
people here (on assembly-86) that could review library designs and give
advice. I wonder if that's realistic.
I don't mind having single-function libraries (except that they really
shouldn't be called libraries--maybe modules), but I do think we should
keep them in invisible variables for two reasons:
1. they can't be overwritten
2. they dont clutter the {string|prog|pic...} list
However, if there's a way to write-protect a string, I wouldn't mind
using strings for convenience.

Yeah, someone is going to have to do the modules. For example, James Yopp
is working on some killer graphics routines.
We also have to find out if there are any unused flags in IY-land.
