The import internals identify extension modules by filename, so doing
foo = load_dynamic("foo", "mod.so") and
bar = load_dynamic("bar", "mod.so") will result in both foo and bar
referring to the same module, regardless of whether or not
mod.so exports an initbar function. On systems which
support them, symlinks can be used to import multiple modules from
the same shared library, as each reference to the module will use
a different file name.
