I'd be really interested to know what problems are actually solved by having two distinct binaries.

(apparently GH interprets "doesn't close #issue" as "close #issue" :) )

This looks good to me! This is very similar to how Traits works (http://code.enthought.com/projects/traits/) I have a few style comments that I'll leave inline.
