Some libraries just plain aren't used by _any_ programs, so why have them
(e.g. the interrupt driven mouse). And as to calling the libraries by
their names, that would take up too much space. Each program calling a
library would need to store the name of the library or libraries which it
called, and calling them would require more space/time. This would drop
large amounts of mem, and would effectively remove any potential savings
libraries might create.
