Yep, probably I am. I don't have a machine on which I can test that
simultaneous installation of 32-bit and 64-bit binaries actually works.
But if "multilib" means "the capability to distinguish between multiple
architecture packages for the same component and have the ability to
install each simultaneously or independently", smart seems to be able to
do that just fine.  It takes the architecture into account when
presenting the package listing.
