Dynamic linking is available for CSL (bytecode compiler only !)
as a library, in csl/otherlibs/dynlink.
Type safety is handled exactly as for static linking, except that you
can restrict arbitrarily the modules "exported" to dynamically linked
bytecode.
I have used this feature extensively in my MMM browser, written in CSL with
CamlTk4.
The difficulty is to invoke code from dynamically loaded modules. I believe
the easiest way is to provide "registration functions" that the extension
will call during loading.
E.G. in MMM
let _ = Applets.register the_function "some name"
and other similar "hooks" mechanisms.
