[gme-users] Using libraries inside models

[Akos Ledeczi]

I can answer the first part. It needs to be a special folder because it 
needs to support any paradigm. A paradigm may not have any folders or 
only folders with certain restrictions. The library is a project in 
itself. So only the rootfolder can contain everything that a library 
rootfolder can >>for sure<<, so it had to become a kind of rootfolder.
