I think the smarter/safer dispel + visa'd libraries idea is a good one. Im
however wary of putting yet more new stuff in the 1.13 sorcery release
at near the last minute (and thus dragging it out more).

I think we should evaluate the special-case spell idea for the short
term and investigate the smarter/safer dispel in the 1.14 release, if
it pans out well and/or the special-case spell idea doesnt do well we
can always backport it to a 1.13.[1-x] release.

So we're wanting to add this to the RoadMap[0] or shall we keep the
current RoadMap and let the staged libraries fix (however we decide to
do it) go in afterwards or as people have time?

On that note, maybe there should be more frequent but smaller sorcery
releases rather than big ones every 6-8 months? Doing that means
serializing the big features even more though, people might not like that.

More frequent would (hopefully) mean less chance of bugs (since the
changes would be smaller) and that we'd have more testing of the
smaller changes.
