Well, you haven't explained what feature you are trying to develop, so
it's a bit premature to speculate on whether that feature is valuable
enough to justify the carrying cost of another library.
Like Tom, I'm not real sure why we would need a library for this. It
seems like a hundred lines of C would be sufficient for most things
you'd likely want to do, and less work than integrating someone else's
code.
