I agree.  It's better not to immediately daunt people who are
considering adopting gnulib.  It's better if the awful realisation of
the complexity of what they've taken on dawns slowly :)

When it works it's fine.  When you've broken it, there's an awful lot
of complex autoguts in there that you have to understand something
about in order to figure out what you've done wrong.
