not a good idea!

the whole point of a library is to conserve memory! Every program uses a
library to execute repetitive tasks. Say everyone had one big library. But
then, I just developed a new program that draws 3D graphics. Then, it would
be crazy to put those functions into a big library if they are never
referenced.

Then you will have many requests to make the library bigger because some
programmer needs to call a repetitive function from many programs. Then
you'll have around 1200 versions every time someone adds their own function
to the library.
