The costs that I can see are two-fold:
1) Additional modules; users have to read some documentation
before they can decide whether they need, say, 'strstr' or
'strstr-simple'.
As a gnulib user, this cost does not strike

If it's cheap, that'd be fine, but if it's expensive to determine this
at configure-time I don't see why. There aren't practical instances
