I've seen ITPs for a massive set of tiny-looking node libraries go
past on -devel in the last few months, so I thought it was about time
I looked at one. I'm a bit worried by what I've seen, considering
typical discussions in the past about really small packages.

Am I missing something, or is the working code in this package really
just 111 lines? Why isn't this bundled up into something more
reasonable in size for the packaging system?
