This isn't even valid. I'm not sure where I was going with that. dlopen()'d things wouldn't be directly applicable here. I can't think of a case where something would prefer the current behaviour if given direct linking as an option. There is likely something that does care but as long as we can disable in that case, I think direct linking is definitely the way to go.
