 * - Libraries are not unique. Multiple extensions might ship with the same

 *   not attempt to) prevent library conflicts.
 * - Extensions implementing and thereby depending on a library that is
 *   registered by another extension can only rely on that extension's library.
 * - Two (or more) extensions can still register the same library and use it
 *   without conflicts in case the libraries are loaded on certain pages only.
