What, no tuples?!

More seriously, I'm happy to work further on Alef, but I have long
ago accepted Bell Labs' view that maintaing the libraries is a
disaster.

I see the "D" people mention "versioning".  I'm insufficiently
knowledgeable to decide whether that is something I would appreciate
or despise.  I know NetBSD is hooked on it (in the sense that meat
hangs from hooks in refrigerators, sadly) because of their use of
dynamic libraries.

I guess that makes it a useful solution, if you can't get rid of
the problem in the first place.
