python in my case. And not only langages, please check any tools that
allows dynamic load of extensions.

A python "import" like. Drop/deprecate dl and implement a nice thing
from scratch ( :-D ). Not really possible regarding the current
deadlines.

- "extension=" is not always possible (no access to php.ini). It's a
  fact.

- CLI/CGI (as pointed by Derick, but being wrong while saying (fast)cgi
  is  slow  ;) ) application which loads extensions if required. gtk is
  one  example, but can we drop all the unknown userland application?

- Is it possible to load an extension only in one part of a host?
  (RTFM?)

Does "Deprecated" mean that the function may be droped in any future
major release? If yes, the cgi/cli @dl() will not work anymore, and
it's not that good.
