IMHO variaty is good IF we have a (or more) conforming implementation,
and we can choose between them, but if we haven't even one it'd be
better to make a conforming one (even with cut-and-paste from different
source) and then try to rewrite part of it in order to be better, 
faster, compile faster etc.
