Interesting. The primary OSX user doesn't use a compiler. The SunOS example
strikes me as being the closest. And it's because they wanted to sell you
extra software. Here it's the notion that there is a compiler for "base"
and then ports are "everything else".

Ultimately, from the user's perspective "base" will just be a particularly well
integrated set of packages - including, rather idiosyncratically, a
compiler that only has the features required by that package set.
