Summary: Need warning that `dl` module can cause segfaults/crashes
Initial Comment:
The `dl` module can cause segfaults/crashes if used
incorrectly. I recommend the following (or similar)
wording be put at the top of the module documentation
(preferable in red ;)
The `dl` module bypasses the Python type system and
error handling. If used incorrectly it may cause
segmentation faults, crashes or other incorrect
behaviour.
