User doesn't have to care about helpers. Helpers are kind of dynamically
loaded "common function repositories". They are taken care of internally
and should never be seen by the user.
> b) coder's point of view?
Coder can use helper libs, if (s)he feels like putting commonly used
functionality into a library. This applies especially to functionality that
is not always needed, like only in some targets, like linvtsw, which is used
in targets that have to take care about Linux VT switching or mansync that
is used in targets that need to simulate SYNC mode.
Always needed functionality might be better placed in a private function of
the core library.
