Hmm, I remain sceptical that I'll see large apps using this.  Using
other-people's-libraries is common after all.  It would mean a lot of
work that doesn't seem worth the benefit to me.  However, it would be
pleasant if people proved me wrong. :)

I think it would be A Good Idea, and it looks easy to add.
