-`brick` is young and may be missing some essential features. There are

-later for the sake of spending more time on the design (and to wait on

-experimental project of mine and some aspects of the design involve
-trade-offs that are not entirely settled. In addition you can expect

-make the library better. I will place more importance on getting the API
-right than on maintaining backwards compatibility.
