I'm not sure of what you're talking about regarding the
maintenance and the ease to use, as I'm a bit confuse on
whether you're talking about dlopen or about the whole static
and dynamic loader being together. It makes sense if it was
like that and fixed things though, I'll dig deeper on the
reason. Thanks for review.
