It is very easy to build dynamically-loaded object

mechanism and hence does not place any restrictions on
the dynamic loader interface. On the other
hand, we had to (re)write a non-portable dynamic loader

other words, you must simply be consistent. However, from a
pragmatic point of view, we discourage this practice because
