I'd say it's the opposite: they are libraries disguised as DSLs, the
DSL-ness being a feature of how they present themselves to the world.
One important thing about embedded DSLs is that they maintain the
interoperability properties of libraries, thus it makes good sense to
think of them as "components" rather than tools.
