I am looking forward to further direction and enhancements of library support in VDF 15, and hereby take the opportunity to ask for the possibility to precompile libraries. At the moment, as I have understood this, precompiled packages have to be structured "on top" of eachother. But libraries are included more "side-by-side". So, again if I understand this correctly, precompiled libraries are still a thing of the future. VDF 15?

While we're at it...can we have a library flag to indicate whether a particular library should be compiled as "compacted" with the superclasses it uses (i.e. given 2 subclass layers, compile them so that they behave as 1 subclass layer, obscuring the more abstract one completely). This would be for performance reasons; it would allow you to treat the various subclass layers as different libraries, but optimise the runtime speed by removing an extra layer of complexity that isn't required by applications that never directly use the more abstract layers.
