Principles
- Game-agnostic: Modlib aims to provide nothing game-specific;
- Minimal invasiveness: Modlib should not disrupt other mods;
even at the expense of syntactic sugar, changes to the global
environment - apart from the addition of the modlib scope - are forbidden
- Architecture: Modlib is organized hierarchically
- Performance: Modlib tries to not compromise performance for convenience; modlib loads lazily
