It matters from a maintainership and code ownership perspective. If
you're just making a library, why not actually just create such a
library and you go through the hassle of making releases instead of us
gluing your code into Octave? I sure don't want to have to keep two
different copies of the same code in different codebases each with its
own diverging set of bugs. Then we can maintain the Octave-specific
wrapper ourselves and you can keep maintaining your library.
