I think I have found an example where distance is not enough: what if
you have two libraries, say "banking" and "address book", that have a
class PERSON (one pointing to their bank accounts; the other having
the person's address), and you want to use both? One solution is to
bridge both but I don't find it ideal since you need quite a complex
setting:

root/root.e -- uses BANK_PERSON and ADDRESS_BOOK_PERSON
 + bridge_bank/bank_person.e -- facade of bank's PERSON
 |  + bank/person.e
 + bridge_address_book/address_book_person.e -- facade of address book's PE=
RSON
    + address_book/person.e

I don't find it ideal because the library's code needs to be nested
*inside* the application tree :-(

Any ideas?
