We've talked about this some time ago and we can to the conclusion that it probably doesn't make sense to unify these for now because the overlap isn't as big as we originally thought it'd be. Specifically, `.tbd` defines a new object format that's understood by tools like the linker, but this is explicitly a non-goal for us. We see the textual representation only as an intermediate format that's used to generate the library stubs which from the perspective of other tools are just a regular ELF files.
