the mechanisms are probably not much used yet outside Plan 9's emu for Inferno
but [58q]l support dynamic loading in a way that unusually provides type checking,
and structured in a similar way to Inferno's Dis modules.
?l can produce loadable modules that contain two sets of type-tagged symbols,
one set to be imported from the surrounding environment and the other to be
exported to it.  there is a small supporting library.
economically, it uses the same type checking mechanism that is used statically by ?l.
or to put it another way, the mechanism was designed to support both.
