Perhaps more to the point: you don't have to implement every part of a
set of features at the same time, but it's a good idea to design them
all together.  Else you risk writing something that doesn't play nice
with the other parts; and by the time you find out, it's too late to
change without creating a backwards-compatibility problem.
