Complexity is *always* an issue. Sweeping it under the library rug is a mistake. Less code is *always* better, no matter how limited the scale we are talking about. Even if users don’t implement URI Templates themselves, they are still better off by having smaller libraries available, and are empowered by having the option of cheaply implementing one themselves. And in this case, there isn’t even a trade-off to consider; the increased simplicity actually yields a better solution by every other metric as well, to my mind anyway.
