I'm not sure I agree with your reasoning.  If you think the
implementation is tough to get right, then it's better to do it one
place and share it.  If, on the other hand, you feel that this is really
a niche need, then I can see how you wouldn't want it in a generic
library.  Obviously I feel that this is functionality from which others
could benefit.

Cheers,
Jeff
