I think I see. Do you have an idea of how that would work, what its
benefits would be, and so on? I did not see them in the proposal.
If the only goal is to reduce downloading, bundling is easy.
If the goal is to use a consistent set of interfaces, we can develop
adapter objects to bridge the gap between the libraries.
I'm not yet sure how it would be possible to take a particular test and
switch it among the three forms (in-container, mock object, functional) by
setting a switch; nor am I sure that I understand the main rationale for
doing so.
