That's true, but if this feature will work by doing the equivalent of
dlopen, then it will most probably only ever work on GNU/Linux. Even
there, we cannot really hope to do all this stuff by hand, do it
safely, and then track all the changes in the OS to keep this working
for the years to come. And good luck being able to do it at all on
proprietary systems such as Windows, where you cannot simply examine
the sources of the DLL loader.
I conclude that sadly this feature is extremely limited, and will
probably die very soon, unless we change its implementation to
something more portable and safe.
