btw, context will never depend on libraries for functioning but it has
support for ffi built in and there might be some additional helpers for
glueing to libraries but libraries themselves will always be considered
a liability i.e. if someone uses them in a workflow (which is fine)
support for specific libraries will not be provided (unless context
ships with some module that uses them which probably will happen but
even then those libraries are considered black boxes so failures are
outside the dev team responsibilities)
