FWIW, I don't particularly agree with that --- there is no reason to
suppose that all PLs will want to do this exactly the same way. Even
if they did, the amount of code shared would only be a few lines.
It would likely end up being *more* code not less by the time you'd
found a way to do it in common (since e.g. the function caches would
not be the same for all PLs, if they even had one).
