Well, I think ultimately, I will rewrite part of the library for myself
anyway. i don't like that much the way the current library works. It's
too verbose to do simple things, and I think it could be better
organized too. Changing that in the current lib would break
compatibility, hence the project of creating another library.

But don't freak out. I have better things to do as for now.

I don't consider the Lisaac language to be ready for use in my projects.
i tried several times and failed. I'll have to work on the compiler
first. Creating a new library is a very very low priority project.
Meaning, i'll certainly never find time for it (unless I'm forced to
because of licence problems, but I'm sure this won't be a problem).
