I strongly disagree as well. Maybe (*maybe*) particular backends will have
well-defined optional pieces missing (like, say, dynaloading, or the
lexer), but that's as far as I'd like to go.

I have no problem with (and would very much like to design in from the
start) the potential to *change* or overload the way keywords work via
modules, but that's a very different thing.
