That has several problems.

(1) There is a lot of overlap with the mission of the stdlib, and I
    think confusion over roles would be quite costly.

(2) As the stdlib demonstrates, picking winners is expensive.  I
    greatly doubt that running *two* such processes is worthwhile.

(3) Very often there is no best of breed.
