 Nonsense.  One library that everyone can use with either end up being so small 
in functionality that it's actually useless, or so general that either it 
requires tons and tons of boilerplate just to use it at all, or it's really 
about eight libraries rolled into one and so impossible to find your way 
around.  Whichever, it's not good.  The sweet spot is at the point of maximum 
tension between generality and simplicity.
