Did you not want to integrate your new library as an fcn_gate_library subclass to map to when using apply_gate_library?

I would rather do this in a separate PR. The reason for this is that this PR is more the basis for further exploration in this direction. If we decide to go in that direction, we can gladly integrate into the fcn_gate_library. But for now, I would rather use it to experiment with single-gate implementations.

That's alright. Makes sense to me.
