The more "library," (rather than "framework"), the harder it is to keep the user in view.
When I was developing vector-concurrent numerical functions, we had little idea how the customer would actually use them. So we just made them as bomb-proof as we could.
PS: If you think the use won't matter, think again. If we'd had some idea what values would be passed in, it would have let us do better optimization. Guessing may not be helpful: one user's optimization is another user's pessimization.
Sometimes building a library w/o imposing requirements can lead to a modular peice of code that can be used in many more situations. There is a partial trade off between short term stability and long term reusibilty.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
