Actually, this goes back to the original mistakes in design concept
that have been pointed out many times.

This is an example of problems in the "one-size-fits-all" model, vs a
structure which separates the code into a core Dijkstra algorithm and 
a user implementation to handle all the case specific aspects. A set
of basic user implementations can be provided as templates/defaults
but in general the user (such as an agent) should be able to provide 
inline code tailored or performance degraded to taste.
