At the least it would be a good idea to see if they would let us use
their libraries as a starting point, wouldn't it?  At the very least, we
could ask them to license their libraries under the BSL.  I mean, for a
task as big as making C++ a first-rate scientific computing language,
we need all the help we can get, no?
