Very little (if any) of sage-scripts is useful without the sage library, and visa-versa, so it's really just an artificial separation, not real modularity. Extcode and examples are even more intertwined. > It's IMHO better to separate the build parts from the maths. Extcode and examples are very much about the math.

It would be optional.
