If we create it upfront it may be easier to keep track of the
cargo-dependencies, but I suppose it would mostly depend on the
implementation.  I'm not sure that'd actually be the case, so don't
worry about it too much.  Whatever we end up with will be better than
what we have now, and we can always make it better later if it needs to
change.
