But only slightly. For myself, I primarily use SLIB for cut-and-paste
reuse, it is my library of last resort. I don't like the burden of its
module system and I frequently find that it implements
almost-but-not-quite the functionality I need.

Anyway, I'm not going to go off slagging what is still a good body of
software (because I *do* use a fair few bits of it in various
projects), but I just can't see compatibility with SLIB as being an
issue.

Go final.
