There’s the usual space/popularity tradeoff to take into account: adding
them all makes the package’s closure much larger, so it’s important to
add only the useful bindings by default.

Ideally, the .so for these bindings could be moved to separate outputs
(like we did for the “tk” output of Python), but it’s not always easy to
do.

Nice.  :-)
