in general part of the beauty in plan9 is that some geniuses found
abstractions that are so much better, that reimplementing the
functionality the plan9 way is simpler than porting a library even
once, which saves us 1) the work of porting it even once 2)
maintaining a mirror image of some external bikeshedding process.

it's kind of rare that 2) or 1) alone is less work than reimplementing
everything on plan9.

doing both 1) and 2) seem completely hopeless for most modern libraries.
