A stealth import is no use in bypassing the standard questions:

 - where has this import been publically discussed?
 - why is it placed in src/sys/lib instead of src/sys/external/...?
 - there is no user in tree yet, why the import upfront?
 - what are the alternatives to this very ugly, undocumented, templated C++
   code?
