The idea of a common bank of functions, not necessarily a library, is
definitely memory efficient and helpful to programmers.  But rather than
creating a myriad of libraries, why not append the most useful and most
used functions directly to the operating system?  This way, no separate
files are needed and thus the hassle of managing a collection of
libraries is ridden.
