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.
