Fair, though I guess I no longer live in a world where shipping pre-built libraries is a thing. Builds are either monolithic or open-source and vendored to the point where none of this matters.
Ultimately I want to be able to step through the full source, and from my perspective it's easiest if the library could just be inserted into my source tree regardless of whether it actually is or not.
I'm not saying I particular like when libraries grow to support a custom allocator either, but I suppose there's some inevitable law that holds, preceding the lisp interpreter being added. At that point the Microsoft approach seems strictly more laborious with less clear value, at least to me.
