Given the confusion we have had in this area, it seemed like a simple and low cost way to avoid what might turn into a long chase. Sure, if you get a messy backtrace you can probably figure out that you have the wrong library. But what if it doesn't crash and just gives the wrong answer? -- These are my opinions.
