Oh, I see, there's an invocation from mac_get() in net/lib.sh itself.
Hummm. Not sure how to tackle this.

I think lib.sh might unset TARGETS explicitly? Or declare -A, but leave
empty? Since it's now an API, net/lib.sh needs to set it to a reasonable
value (or erase). Then forwarding/lib.sh might in theory rely on
existence of that variable and not have to declare it at all.

Or, maybe have a stub run_on() like this to satisfy the run_on() API:

run_on()
{
        "$@"
}

And have the full-blown thing in forward/lib.sh. All the magic with
TARGETS really belongs to forwarding/lib.sh. Bash allows function
redefinition just fine, so a user importing just net/lib.sh would get
the stub, and forwarding/lib.sh users would get the full thing.
