Well, have a look at what C++ did: Nothing ;-) — and therefore, the world is
littered with incompatible, trivial definitions of vectors, images, notes…
My favourite example are quaternions (just do a search for that term in Apples
own frameworks…), so there is definitely an issue here.
The solution is quite easy, but that makes things really complicated: Just
declare a standard (that's easy — so everyone wants to have his own one ;-).
Unless someone with outstanding reputation (sadly, Apple seems not to care for
this) starts a project like Boost, we'll have to live with incompatibilities.
