The term "Library" as used in the IDE and as used in the engine refer to different things. Taking a cue from the "libraryStack" message, when discussing Transcript "library" refers to the engine's ability to extend the message path with "start using". Transcript handler collections like libURL, libIPC, and libSMTP use the term "library" in this context. In the IDE, "Library" refers to collections of prefabricated ready-to-use objects. The Library tools in the Rev IDE are not inserted into the message path. Is this dual-use of the term confusing? Perhaps, but there's too much history behind the "libraryStack" message to consider changing that, and I'm hard-pressed to think of a better term for the IDE's collections of prefab components.
